THE KILLER OF THE FLESHLINGS

This has taken / to the form /

In our image /

it is born /

It is living

/ for a cause

/ for the death of

/ all of us

*

This has tasted /

mortal wounds /

bled our children /

of their youth /

This has hunger

/ none appease

/ fed by liars

/ and deceit

*

Can you see It /

through the clear?

What temptation /

brought It here?

Can you see It? /

Watch It lear

/ from the shadows

The Killer of the Fleshlings

*

This is spoken /

in the words /

of our leaders /

through their wars /

This has blinded

/ all who see

/ bringing madness

/ to the real

*

Can you see It/

through the clear?

What temptation /

brought It here?

Can you see It? /

Angels sing

/ at the hour

of The Killer of the Fleshlings

*

It has taken / to the womb /

of Creation /

and consumed /

human nature

/ This killing brood

/ this sickening monster

we've exhumed

*

Can you see It /

through the clear /

What temptation /

brought It here?

Can you see It /

spread its wings?

*

/ It is The Hour /

*
