<Separatist> page <Closure> album page |
ClosureIn violent seizures of unending desperationAs mankind dissolves into the void Monuments to our own frailty Waiting inanimate for a god without a voice We sing, breathless, for our final absolution With prayers to the insatiable empyrean These flames climb and lick my blistered skin The vile prayers of my fellow man lifted up to the unhearing sky Their voices slowly dissipating as their bodies succumb Their flesh receding and limbs wilting under this sea of consuming fire Until the only sound that remains is my own breathe dissolving My own heartbeat slowing down In the jarring silence of this monumental failure My lips utter a soundless atonement to the God I once knew As my skin withers and bones return to dust Grace finds me here, as my final breath departs I'm ready to come home |
