bright life, grim truth
shattering
the memory lagging
bare the weight of the twisting lot
en virulent
rust
oh lucent dream
stolen from the clutches
as above and so below
shine
the duality of the light

fragmenting certainty now absent
descending toward the dusk decay
invocation of the brooding pathos indemnity
unfurl the flag and give chase

run like the burning dog still living
alive and stalking with no heartbeat, driven
no life
yet the blood still pulses
hidden in plain sight
red embers smolder in the pyre

ruuuun
with quicken stride
the vermin runs from one escape to run
escape and run
but its begun
it has begun

strike down with the thunder of light
strike down with the thunder of light
strike down with the thunder of light
strike down with the thunder of light

black life, bright past
rebirth
with memory lasting
reconciled with a crimson fist
see through shadows and darkness
oh lucent dream
through the veil and wonder
risen up from below
shine
the duality of the night
