My prophecy is a nightmare, my path is a like a hedge of thorns On to the burning wastes, on to the great rift To harvest the bitter fruit and drink from the barren springs My land is roamed by worms, my teeth are gnashing A shrine of flesh that had risen, a mind that sparked above the stars Scorched by the consuming fire in the forges of the nether god Towards the noumenon Deprived of both a body and the mind that animates it The soul is petrified in a monstrous satori It is hermeticism of the abyss that has trampled it Into a blunt instrument of enlightenment Towards the noumenon, towards apocalypse A lifetime of unquenchable thirst and ravenous hunger Has carved out an devouring automata Destroyed by the bitterness Of its grievous and long-protracted punishment My cup runneth dry, my house is divided On to the burning wastes, on to the great rift A vast network of fractures, the forecourts of Sheol The night is as a garment, the face has been obscured Apex prelest, conscious nothing Axis damni, embers of pneuma Disunity, estrangement The cruelty of the other death
