Serpents

from Cyclopean Imagery by Pathogenic

lyrics

Listen:the cacophonies of alarms:
The sickening symphony of becoming real,
Awaken the serpents from their dens
To adorn themselves in the scales of war.
Forked tongues turn the time, a slave to the sun's reign.
Distant drones distract from the centerfold

Smothered earth beaten brown by paths of decay-
The shades of life are silent witnesses to a world gone mad.

Show your sharp teeth:
A crooked smile glimmers in the hunt for prey
Jagged saws of a weapon for the conquering.
They are trophies of battle and age.
They are life takers and soul scorners.
Show your blood, wounds trapped in a mortal cage of flesh.
They are signals of a clock unwinding.


"Spare me my life" - they are words gone unheard by the fearless scales.
Fangs sink in the sea of cells, residue red coagulates.

Colors of me abstract and splattered on walls, I fade into the nameless ranks
As a thirst for blood grows inside. This venom takes hold.
All morality is devoured alive.


Poached and coursing through the puppet veins;
Bleeding wounds quench the thirst of the dirt.

You will fall alone, brackish to the cycles,
To feed, I must kill.
To survive someone must die.
