A writhing chaos in a doomed, dead cosmos Divining evil, malignant radiesthesia To the point of cold, clear death A garish death The ideomotor response of the gods In the face of their own futility Orbiting in meaningless revolutions The qualmish divinities turn, writhe Exposing the chasms, their entrails spill Leaking, gleaming ichor Man himself as God, a provenance unearned Burn them, the pyre stoked, inferno Lash them, impertinence absolved Salve them, rebuild the feeble ego Invoke them, on the world turn them loose Man himself as God, a provenance unearned Burn them, the pyre stoked, inferno Lash them, impertinence absolved Salve them, rebuild the feeble ego Invoke them, on the world turn them loose The winding path of man, its many cracks Fissures in the lithosphere The burning hail, the freezing moon The gods hang down their entrails Now see them writhe, see them hang Swinging from their dripping spires The morning sun gleams upon the graves The evening moon greets the bloom of plague And men beg God to kill them
