Mingled visions

The night's shadows grow longer

My dream's excisions

Grow ever stronger

In my mind I see

A face I've known before

Lights flashing

A body face down on the floor

Something lurks so familiar

Luminescence of your eyes

Urges are rising in

Darkest corners of the incised

Her cries

The symphony of madness

Lies

Despise

The whispers of darkened skies

Bleed

Bleed

Your skin, eyes are lost in the vale

Within something so cold and pale

Why?

A horrid soul

A tormented mass beyond hope

Deep in the hole

At the end of a rope

Beyond the years of one so young and so innocent

Your time has come, my dear

Hands so cold

Paths cross within death's fold

Body tossed down on the ground

Crumpled form motionless in a...

World so hollow, lifeless dead

Lost in creases of hungering dread

Trapped within my head

My head

My head

Unfolding a world birthing septs of malice

Words in wretched upon the walls of...

...Night

Your skin, eyes are lost in the vale

Within something so cold and pale

Suffering, set to explode, the infinite regress

Stumbling forward, a long delayed egress

Your time has come

As it shall, for us one and all

Once again the knot comes undone

A view of worlds in hiding

No more loom obscure

Compassion subsiding

Bleeding the pure

Bleed

You must bleed

Seven cycles of need

Chain and dagger's umbra

The god omnipotent

Must feed

Feed on suffering, cycling, smoldering, faltering mortals

Bleed, the altering, shimmering fleshly portals
