Punished

It used to be my pain
(But I) lost power over it
(And) bodies (still) pile up forever
Over feelings of faith...

A nightmare lies
Between me
And the dogma
I ran from

It is haunting
(To) punish the flesh. I do
Be vigilant all times:
Awake and serene;
Awake and sublime
A light to a world now gone

Emptiness
(The) resonant
Omen of
(The) temptress
Of vice
Emptiness
A psalm
That Denies the truth

It’s
The fall
Of our minds

Sanctimonious
Redemption for
Their ancient lies
Upon the altar

Unscrupulous
A treacherous
Clash of the minds
Denying truth

Alight!

Bloodhound, the victim I
Found alone and bound to
The punishment of sin
Wounding in red, regret in black

Before indifference sets in
Before tiredness within sets in
Trinity, Trinity here
Alight!
Alight!

Bloodhound, blood-bound, which I
Found alone and uncrowned
(With) Trinity’s violin
That calls us in—anguish within
