A Despicable Carousel

I lurk within walls dark

Dark reclamation of your soul

Soul fragments on the ground

Ground to bits and a carousel

 

Through shallow waters we wade

Where the golden larks bathe

Under canopies black and scarlet

Days of fiendish vanity, our fate.

 

Swim beneath waters murky

Murky tales of your rotten lives

Lives under a quilt laced with fear

Fear of your brackish atonement

 

Through hallowed lands we walk

Where the golden dragons talk

Of creation with amber mirth

Viole’t tales of our sapphire birth.

 

Cast upon the fabled mirrors

Mirrors your retributions in vain

Vain grows your conscience to fight

Fight your morals in a world amoral

 

Through shallow waters we wade

Where the golden larks bathe

Under canopies black and scarlet

Days of fiendish vanity, our fate.

 

I throw a die upon your grave

Grave expression on my face

Face your grave and they laugh

Laugh at this despicable carousel

 

Through hallowed lands we walk

Where the golden dragons talk

Of creation with amber mirth

Viole’t tales of our sapphire birth.
