Prelude to Terror
No longer restrained
A demon roused within me
Dreaded and despised
Culture's failure
Naked appetite
Wears through my tired mask
Consumed and enthralled
With personal gratification
Daring destruction without regret
Intoxicated to pursue my capricious lust
In clear daylight
Indifferent to good or evil
The heaving wind
Expires against my cheek
When nature turns
On heedless rhythms
Ancient and blind
Without providence or end
The future deceives
The past is regretted
Your complacent luck
Beneath death's shadow
Deaf to peril
My atrocity leaves its scar
A torment
Of guilt with relief
A cautionary tale
The gift of terror
A demon roused within me
Dreaded and despised
Culture's failure
Naked appetite
Wears through my tired mask
Consumed and enthralled
With personal gratification
Daring destruction without regret
Intoxicated to pursue my capricious lust
In clear daylight
Indifferent to good or evil
The heaving wind
Expires against my cheek
When nature turns
On heedless rhythms
Ancient and blind
Without providence or end
The future deceives
The past is regretted
Your complacent luck
Beneath death's shadow
Deaf to peril
My atrocity leaves its scar
A torment
Of guilt with relief
A cautionary tale
The gift of terror
