Kenosis

I have sinned and I will sin again
My name is that of a man long dead
I’m just a wyrmling unfit to have crept the soil
Crawling out, fated in filth

In my dormancy my eyes have calcified
My only sight is inverted
Eternal silent lamentations
The pungence of a bottomless acceptance

The call of the red star
Set me aflame
It spoke my true name
Idolator

When sight has lost its purpose
Only putrefaction stokes the hallowed fire
I lack the want to do what need be done
To learn from the past, to abandon this wretched life

The call of the red star
Set me aflame
It spoke my true name
Idolator

A fallen star from the heavens
A weightless collision
Earth undisturbed
A quake in my bones
My blind eyes ached

A quake in my bones
My blind eyes ached
Into the blistering red
Cloaked in a shroud of dust

Charred fragments mark my departure
Dissolved refuse falling to the earth
The fury of the Sun lead me home

The call of the red star
Set me aflame
It spoke my true name
Idolator

The call of the red star
Set me aflame
Spoke my true name
Idolator
