Ossified

A message scrawled in stone

Paths etched into the earth

We tread as ghosts

Awakened only by desire

A fleeting flame that flickers to nothing

Stagnation is happiness

Putrefaction bliss

I open not my soul

Inertia claims my bones

In false content we're borne in painless sleep

Decaying dreams beget deranged realities

Take your place as trestles in your earthen tombs

Follow false prophets to sate your spiritual wounds

Deceive and delude your material shell

Chase desire into the void, into hell

I'll choose to be a destroyer of worlds

A flesh-bound deity

Burn across the sky

Triumphant trumpets resound

Ascend in hideous light

Onward to eternity
