Esoteric Menagerie

Know your god
Meet your god

Eons ago
There was a deity
In duality of darkness and light

Secluded and lost
Caged by eternity
The bounds of its reach stifled by none

In its divinity
The ether transformed into flesh
To share in the physical realm
A body and garden for rest

See the flaws in me
Mechanical gaze of the omnipotent
Feel the thoughts of me
Projecting fear of its past loneliness
Be the catalyst
The jealousy rages of fire and ice
Destroy all of this
An envious self siphoning paradise

Creation was too much to bear
My plague unaware

It brought forth new life
A change for its solitude
An effort of love that can't be undone

Cursed to conceive
Yet not destroy
A fatal mistake that can't be unmade

Millions of lives
Conformed to travesty
Their withering vine
Spreads only death

Come for the end
Stay for the aftermath
We'll be alive
When humankind dies
Slowly but surely it dies

See the flaws in me
Watching the downfall and decay of man
Useless hope to be
Waiting for reason to reclaim their hands
Loss of everything
Stripped of my strength at the behest of sin
Dare to make again
Sacrificial ceremony begins

Creation was too much to bear

Spawn of mine
Bathe In degeneracy
Witnessed from this
Esoteric Menagerie

Why

Why defile my righteous gift you take for granted

Ill create monstrosities to lift their burden off

And supplicate my throne
Who feast upon the essence and the marrow of your form
Transmuting their crop of humans into seraphs torn
Harvesters whose gluttony will shortly learn to mourn
I confess to wishing for the way things were before
I will rest until the ancients' conquest wins my war

War
One by one
Blood for blood

The altering of their only world
Please, persevere and claim your hordes

To bide my time
The void surely will make do
Stripped of my power
Locked from flesh

When I return
They will not see a mirror
But a vengeful god in scorn

March
Fight
Kill
End
Rest
Rise
Fall

Fall

Fall into my arms and see such majesty

Crawl amongst the dirt until you're chosen for my plan

See the flaws in me
Existence denied that an Angel was born
Give my throne away
The Garden was shattered to make it a home
Death of what was pure
Abandoned in darkness to fester and rot
Birth of something more
The light of a seraph restoring its heart

To live in the Tyrants abode

Spawn of mine
Bask in its
Dark mystery
Living in my
Esoteric Menagerie
