i feel something twisting
inside of my mind
rising and falling
unbidden and blind

there seeping beneath
high heaven's door
in the colors of blood
and a little bit more
rainbows are melting
and run down the sides
i drink in the drops
as the colors collide

all dripping down
on crystalline skies
resplendent wonder
i watch the light rise
as darkness is falling
away in the night
the moon reaches down
and points to the light

i touch with my finger
the light in the air
and watch it recoil
with its deafening stare
as bright streaks of blood
following behind
fingers caressing
this thing that has died

smearing her madness
into my mind
emptiness burrows
deep in my eyes
then as darkness arises
to replace what was there
i rip myself from
his frightening stare

but darkness pursues me
as i flee to the sky
asking me questions
but i cannot reply
for my words have been frozen
into things i can hold
which i offer as penance
but it will not be consoled

rapture returns
before it is lost
shadows will form
then stretching across
the mountains and valleys
that rise and then fall
the seas will increase
drowning us all
