Pallidus

Burn

Pallidus forces

Traces of baseless mean

places of ruined dream

Drawing on the habits

Habitually gracing dystopia

Will you have what it takes

To murder the mystery

Or will you die

mysteriously

as well as the others have?

Brothers in arms cause harm

To the crushing gaze of God

Samael and Michael

Devour themselves in flames

Of azure and plutonium

The eye of Jupiter is opening

All that he sees is red

The living engage in a horrible embrace

With the dying and the half-dead

Participate in the morning prayers

greasing the gears of the human race

All gathered in a shiny crimson button

With the weight of a black hole’s face

Entropy hovering over the present

Wishing for Creation’s last breath

I hold in my hands the salvation of man

But I don’t know if I can

escape this event horizon

and become that which could save

Disgusted by your shameful desertion

A witness that would not take the stand

So if judge I be and God has gone on

The angels and devils advocate

For retirement and villas in Basque

I have watched

The end of the day as

The sun was broken in two

Within my hands the Hope of Man

I press down with all of my might

I so wish the new world that comes

May be a peaceful one, but to this one

I say good night
