Becoming the Lycanthrope

Revelation or annihilation

The futile and the fanatics

That is all we are

With scalpel incisions and flapping tongues

Bury the limbs of the hopeless

Clambering onto the funeral pyre, overwhelmed

Sacrifice and sedition

Let the ashes of our cancer rise

To be inhaled by the congregation

Carry your doctrine into the flames

Or swallow it whole and exit the wake

As the smoke blackens the horizon

Revel in your decision (delusion)

As the inferno turns to embers

Breathe in the essence of despair

Piss on the ash and the bones of the dead

Laugh and rejoice as the black turns blood red

But your carnivorous smile betrays

Revealing the teeth that will devour us all

A grin to mark the end of days
