Fiery  Serpents  -  Deathspell  Omega

...I  had  a  salowe  vision

wherein  were  fiery  serpents  and  scorpions  and  drought

...sand,  in  an  abrasive  swirling  murk,

covered  the  crackled  book  of  life...

A  testimony

from  the  dimension  of  regret.

This  voice  comes

from  the  second  right  after  the  disaster

when  all  there  is  left  to  say

in  a  distressed  whisper  is

It  is  too  late.

The  irreparable  has  been  carved  in  stone

and  those  made  accountable  for  it  are  you.

Standing,  shivering  in  cold  dim  light

waiting  for  the  sentence  of  the  Holy  Dead

like  Adam  and  Eve  at  the  end  of  time.

One  may  argue  that  it  was  flawed

since  the  beginning

that  the  dice  were  loaded

that  God  had  it  all  within

that  He  is  the  Source.

O  heavenly  Father!

pathogenic  agent  of  contamination.

harbringer  of  catastrophe,

icon  of  the  impending  Fall:

but  what  difference  does  it  make?

Altitudines  Satana

the  vertigo  of  Liberty

tipped  the  scales.

A  shadow  of  horror  is  risen.

This  will  not  be  redeemed

no  matter  how  sincere  the  genuflection

and  ardent  the  confession.
