Carrion

When the dust of the world settles
Within our ragged lungs
When the worms begin to wither
In the hollows of our skulls

When our eyes become weary
By the dusk's murky light
When the mind is drunk and listless
From decadence and city nights

A dismal revelation of the coming dawn
Light cresting over the horizon
Oh, how the warmth sickens me
Germinating all that is vile within my core

Flowers of evil, consume my flesh
Bathed in the light of the new dawn
I, the carrion
Apocalyptic visions cloud my sight
No light has reached me
Your light will never reach me

For I have bled
Upon the Altar of Dawn

For I have shed blood
Upon the Altar of Dawn
