the glorious clock finishes her circle
Breaking open the Door of the Glorious Sun
Chests explode around the world
Monsters of the Day Awoken
"Where is our feeding, what creatures have you brought us?"
They hide in holes and are living dead
The meat
The birds pick at their flesh
With eyes wide open
Come, let us celebrate, over the teems
Of writing bodies
Let us toast and smoke, get drunk and dance
Celebrate the Advantage
Of proper planning
And laugh, and laugh, and laugh
Was it worth it, My Friend?
The End? And all?
You see the trails of events coalescing
Who else sees this path of the Rising Dawn?
From the depth of the Ocean
Was it a hard, long, strange trip
The memories and lies, the Disguise
Molded
No longer Moses
Let us toast to who we were
John the Baptist, in his childhood
Now, is rugged, straight, moves forward
A regular Behemoth
The devil was a co-worker
I wondered, "Why would they put a snake in here with me"
Surely, my good friends would not!
But, I remembered: I did the same to Adam and Eve
COME ON!
HAH HAH HAH HAH!
Welcome to Death and Hell in my fist
Welcome to this new world
As it crackles and cracks and obedience is lost
What distant cry did the Two hear that made them Swear?
What horror is it they spoke of?
What Nightmare did they see:
One in the desert
One in the wilderness
One with his head chopped off
One buried after 120 years
And claimed to be God
Oh what delight to see this story coming to a close
To see creatures new and free with wings of their own
What contentions, what spectacles, what disguise!
David hidden as a politician
Abraham as a spy
Moses as a rock and roll star who disappeared
Into the world he despised
Who sees these clouds, who sees beyond them?
Samuel with his badge
The Prophets and Apostles hidden in dreams
Of sleep
Who died in sin, to be awoken, who did not sleep?
Some hung on crosses
Many torn by lions: armies and armies of the Living
Sleeping in Paradise, raised battalions
Oasis in Hell
Climate Change: The Sun Will Get A Lot Hotter!
Better believe it.
Will burn their flesh for destroying the earth
While their false prophets fingers point at us
The Bride has married herself to denizens of death
She is a whore, a wandering stray, teacher to prostitutes
With no shame
Ripped apart and plundered, the truth awoken
The violence with the heart pulled asunder
To those men who set to rouse the Leviathan
You of the Western State, which was visited
To you who helped set it up
And you who stayed
That Empire on the Beach
Do you see it coming?
I thank you
But will not chase you
