Splintering blistered fingers

Chalk smears cake my body white

Sweat perspiring down my face

Retracing lines to tighten this seal

Clandestinely twining with devilry

Cursing through the night

My wicked enchantments hurl my body

As it's careening through dust

Through dust and light I feel I've made it

As my heart climbs through my ribs it tells me so

The specter shows me so

The darkness surrounding is growing

As the specter sheds to begin anew

Within it's body they are glowing on through her

Their faces shine fiercely with such deep sinew

This crooked mystery envelops all space around me

As the many faces speak as one

"Why have you come here

What has brought you through?

Why have you come here

What has brought you through to my domain!"

My body falters

I feel myself begin to crumble

As rickety noises force themselves from my throat

I begin to form some sense into an explanation

"I need to see this, to feel this, to breathe!

To see, to feel, to breathe in your miasma"

"Take refuge in the carcass my darkening soul

Albeit by the force of beauty incarnate

Do not release yourself into this world

Here your essence is soluble"
