The First Heretic

I am thought given form
So formed from any given thought
I am angelic rhetoric -
Sweet the lie so swiftly bought

And so I appear before thee
All wide eyes and gaping maw
An omnipedal beast
Deadly subtle and aching raw

Pillars of black crystal glitter darkly
In the places of my birth
And a sea of sorrow wracks the shores of despair
A storm of regret threatens on the horizon

The very air is hate
Anthropomorphic philosophy, in flesh I am bound
I am the anti-material, chaotic, violent, silent sound
I revel in seraphim suffering, my eyes cry witchlight
A pyrefly phosphorescence
Behold my progeny, a million lies spoken
By a million black tongued mouths
The sea of souls is my dominion

I am the blood soaked tyrant, Harlot's beguiling smile
I am endless change, cancer ridden horrors vile

I am the flesh changed mystic
My existence sick and cryptic
Born of this maelstrom, I am the first heretic

Bind me in iron, shackle my soul
Contain this raging thirst, endless hunger craving all

The first heretic!
The first heretic!
