Too fast to die

Lift me limb from rotting land tonight
Into your falling astral sea
Nor the nailed feet into the ground
Nor the sand and blood we eat
Will ever weigh us down enough
To bring us aid this eve
The sky has come to claim a debt from me

Did you keep us watch for the end of man
Centuries gone in a second
Let your cable down into the last alive to cauterize their death
Lest we beg to fall
Deny our weak mechanic build
And not embrace your righteous nail driven in us to fast to die

We climb out raw from the immortal pit
With mud in our mouths and spitting up teeth and guilt
The symphony of razor cables cut through clouds and vocal chords
At the fleeting speed of silence
To reignite the violent inner biting chorus that sings and belts and yells
In a voice that’s too fast to die

Centuries gone in a second
Taken up into the air
Beyond the speed of silence
Centuries per second

I saw the limb coming down from a hole in the world
Entering your head replacing your spine
Lifting you up by the skin of your openings
Guiding you along a turbulent killing wind

One life at a time
Ending with the one inside of yourself
Removing your womb with your hands

Wailing away in the air on the strand of Leviticus
Opening yourself up
Ending our son in a frantic self c section
You ravenously bit into his head and fed on him above me
Crying dripping and retching in pain

My bloodline raining down upon me as you ate our newborn
You were choking down his organs begging me to help you
What kind of god would make a mother feed upon their own young
Reverted back to a sick animal brain
Yet with a conscience to know that it’s self destructive hunger was inflicted by the sky

It kept you awake
I witnessed you rise
With The wicked and innocent
Young and the nearly gone
Taken up to fast to die

Cauterized and lifted
Taken up to fast to die
Taken into the unknown

When the omni limb had brought you back to life inside the ladder
I thought this hell could one day end but we can never die of hunger
I took you out among the ruin and flayed you for the red goliath
Now the sky will not re-open
And now I feed on blood and sand

Redialate
Re-open
Release your empyrean leech

Then I found the few that read the new leviticus
They taught us how to call the liminal in by handing in the mind
Hand in your mind

Now I stand on empty shore
Expelling the red and white that I have for too long inhaled
And beg the hand to enter my empty head and column

Finally the ulcer opens
Cutting the air the cable glides
I bow my head and feel the piercing arm tunnelling into my crown
Guiding hand enter and take me into your vast and boundless sky
Lift me into the kings reflection
Let me rise to fast to die

Redialate
Re-open
Release your empyrean leech

I land and find no light to greet me
Only our cold wet bodies melding
The arm took none of us to bliss
It filled us all with vile liquid
To writhe In a landfill of the lifted
I sink into a mound of bloated victims
To eternally drowned in undead waste
The limb is gone yet we remain

Redialate
Re-open
Release your empyrean leech
