The Caliginous Voice

Embellish me in a hail of fire
Dress my body in eternal scar
With glowing eyes and honed claws
Burn bright and sink into my skin

Upon your throne
Diadem of waning light
Lift me into your ruins
That inhabit the starless sky

You are the caliginous voice
The ghost beyond the mist
The cry that bestills the night
The shadowed lament

And leave me then to die
In the dark of misery's hold
Pierce me with jagged stares
AS my body turns to stone
Drowning under the scorn of time
I lie bare and dormant in its flow
And with my last cold breath
I bid you my soul

I bid you my soul
I soar with broken wings
And paint your name across the clouds
For every God to see
