Beyond The Dust

Effluent fumes infiltrate perception
Blinded eyes with flickered reception
An incessant haze of mass decay
Abandoned is the fray
Devouring souls and convictions alike
Stripped of honour and our ancient pride
Soon lost: The foremost divination
In Original sin - a fanatic's citation!

Somnambulism reigns
Regression is now complete
Civilisation crumbles
Equal are leper and priest

Prophecies of deliverance - Logic to the mad
The dust; It feasts upon their judgment
Ambassadors of pertinence beckon to the frail
Descent into the quarters of the damned
Those condemned unto the dust
Those condemned by the dust

And yet we call upon tomorrow
To rise beyond the dust
The dust!

Imposters infiltrate our ranks
Obscured by the consequence of fate
An inexorable force upon the psyche
As the borders between sentience and death
Blur, fade, vanish, die!

In genocide and sorrow
To ascend beyond the dust
The dust!

In our final hour, acolytes of death
The dust our master
Master's wrath divine

With dying infant in hand and laboured breath
Forgotten is the wisdom of our time
