Metamorphosis

Into exile behind pinnacles of stone
Betrayer in darkness
Desperate and alone
I left you to wander
With vengeance in my eye
I left you to wander
I left you on the mountainside
To die

No sign of shelter
You build a fire for warmth
Above, white wings
Look like stars in the night
A horde in the night
The cold dusk air brings
The torch flickers
A beacon for gossamer wings

The moths come closing in
The moths tear holes in your skin
Bearing their spawn within
Let the metamorphosis begin

Masses forming under your skin
Let the metamorphosis begin
They are moving in you
They seek shelter in you

Compelled through the wilderness
On the wings of change
The masses are moving you to flame

Everything is changing
You lost yourself on the mountainside
Fall into the fire
Consumed by parasites

The moths come bursting through
From the flesh and blood cocoon
Emerging from within you
Let the metamorphosis conclude

Left a hollow husk
For the departing dusk
