No-one survives such an attack
And we all stood like monuments
Baring the nails in her back
Still moving sinews
In a graceful impression of life
Shyly the arms, shyly the breasts
Fold fear die
Ten fingers driven
Through the heart
Through the core
As I stare into those strange, magnetic eyes
And wonder
Are they for you?
Are they for me?
Are there demons there?
I knew it all the time
The misanthropes were right
To crucify themselves
In the need of a saviour
Still moving sinews
Struggle fearsome with a lifeline forlorn
Caught in the nest
Of the impending dark fate
Ten fingers driven
Through the heart
Through the core
As I stare into those strange, magnetic eyes
And wonder
Are they for you?
Are they for me?
Are there demons there?
Semi-worlds, lifetight lodges
Where faces stiffen
Plagued with the frost of disease
Our capsules barely meet
The worms of disorder
Like living black numbers
That drip from her pergament skin
Joined in sweet fury
To anoint the decay
Fragile and reddened in lifelost array
Ten fingers driven
Through the heart
Through the core
As I stare into those strange, magnetic eyes
And wonder
Are they for you?
Are they for me?
Are there demons there?
Joined in sweet fury
To anoint the decay
