Ulcerate
Undying as an Apparition
Resent the flesh and blood
Leave the frail to hang
Revelation through nothing
Detest the void unearthed
In its sanctity
Emancipation through nothing

Under torrents of time’s passage
The dawn of awakening is the end of its promise
As extinction begins

In metamorphosis
Reveal the blank figures
Eyes roll back into breathless escape
To depart this scorched earth drained and empty

Undying as an apparition

Each moment is fractured
Revelation through nothing
Every second is tainted
Emancipation through nothing

Revere this false dawn bearing scars of the wretched
Succumb to death’s shallowness
Corrupted by death’s shallowness
It lays defeated
Never free
Never free from time’s clutches
Captive in soulless mortality

Never free
Next to the graves of all the others
Next to the graves unheard
