Lapsus - Light Bearer

Heaven quakes

The crown tilts

Tumult massing

Choir dogs

We coalesce

Before this foe

My paramour!

We proclaim!

Have we not bled for your succor?

Have we not swarmed to your side?

Have we not groveled and washed your feet?

Are we not bound to your creed?

I will not blithely wilt

In the light of your glory

I will not blindly walk

And glimpse the void

Assembled ranks, bastion flock

Pirouette of the paragon

Flawless blades guilt with blood;

His glory be in ragged meat

Resplendent host!

Rise tempestuous!

Bodies like hale, an astral squall

Revolve and revolve in blind idolatry

Chorus fractured and forlorn

Heaven heaves a sigh of epochs

The myriad strains under prides weight

Regal volley thrown, trebuchets of carven bone

Wings fragment in fervid oil, driven back and recoil

Torn fingers clutch the edge

The mass cries out

Foundation reviles in disgust

Hands claw and grip

Dust blinds in floods

Engulfs and chokes

They fail

They fall away, we flail

Blotted eyes tight

Lungs erased.

Duress engulfs

They fall

The void it calls

It calls below and below again

Trauma wrought and beaten

Scorched limbs drag torpid husks

This chasm maw lies open

Exit beyond their grasp

The cold it binds and castrates

Stigeon embargo

Bound like brittle branches

To this freezing waste

Lucifer:

Is this the prize you spake my Lord?

To punish infinite?

How can our god

Commit such puerile acts?

This hollow place will serve us well

For we no longer have your love
