Awake At the Deep End

A cascade of calamities
A pattern that upsets the threshold
There are no layers of punishment
Hell is here, hell is now

The whip that cracks for one cracks for all
The whip that cracks for one cracks for all

Amidst the oceans of contradictions
There is only one constant
The approaching gallop of the pale horse
And all the misery He brings

The whip that cracks for one cracks for all
The whip that cracks for one cracks for all

Behold the gaze of the beast
As venomous as it's insipid
Pathetic locus of control
Impotent, emaciated

No fire and brimstone
No divine threat
Has ever kept one
From the clutches of sin

The whip that cracks for one cracks for all
The whip that cracks for one cracks for all

What sheep fear the most
Is to be cast out of the herd
Not the wolf, not man, not death
Only to walk one's own path

Embody Persephone
And accept the calling of death
And when the time comes
To bless the frigid fields
Refuse
Deny them your gifts

Awake at the deep end
Awake at the deep end
Awake at the deep end
