Fire Alive


Wake up screaming. reaching out through despair.
the images linger. memories like nails.
violation. stink of feces.
desecration of life.
a burning sky. the day blackened by shame.
They cover the lies.
cover the mind's eye.
i am become - a fire alive.
they sever the faith.
sever the soul sight -
and raise a fire.
a fire alive.
Facing death without a sign of life.
the empty gaze of a child randed by psychosis.
staring blindly into the mortal wounds.
doll parts, severed flesh, the dead and the dying.
They cover the lies.
cover the mind's eye.
i am become - a fire alive.
they sever the faith.
sever the soul sight -
and raise a fire.
a fire alive.
Why o' shaab al-saffah?
i will see you when i go -
into the fire, into the roaring sun...
So say your prayers and your goodbyes.
prepare to face the lord.
for in this my final act god speaks his shame.
His incarnation is hell.
it'll tear you to shreds.
it'll rip your soul to pieces.
Incinerate.
flesh into ashes.
Fire.
A fire alive.
