Running, jumping, blinking, stalling
Barely just ahead, you're
Tripping, catching, falling, breaking,
Hanging by a thread, you're
Tantalizing, appetizing,
They just want a bite, oh
Sacrilegious, tipping, flipping
Running from the light
Epinephrine, conscious, present,
Running through your bloodstream
Psychogenic, fleeting, hellbent,
Sinking in the mud, the
Lactic acid setting in
Muscles crying out, these
Accidental visions, fractals
Pull you deep and down
We'll have you psychoanalyzed
And subsequently hypnotized
To confirm that you're a specimen
That's suitable for sacrifice
"For sacrifice?" You ask
Why yes my friend, for all comes at a price
And soon the vessel we will find in you
Should finally suffice
Evidently, consequently
Breaking off the path, your
Neurons blinking, snapping wires
Breaking, screaming wrath, their
Song is ringing in your ears
Rupture through your skull, these
Accidental visions, skylines
Rendered out to null
As the age of man draws to an end
I simply cannot comprehend
The terrors, and the ecstasies
That lie across that line
But time shall tell!
And you as well, my friend, will see
The prices deserved by powers that be
As empires crumble beneath the weight of heaven's spine
