New Inertia

Displaying a reverence
 For knowledge
 Unalloyed and flagrant
 Parading devotionless
 To the erudite
 Assembled in the spirit of forgery
 Zealot and partisan
 Of the ailings of discipline
 Countless victims pierced
 By the daggers of mimicry
 ♪
 Seeking the light of direction
 Offered as a pledge to certainty
 Severing as a ritual
 The searching hand
 Relinquish and malign the tactile
 Wounds robed, vulgar
 In the ornaments of aspect
 Rushing headlong to the surface
 ♪
 Suspended in a new inertia
 A cloak to preclude acceptance
 Flailing unforgiven
 Shielded by myth articulate
 ♪
 Take flight
 Such fictions will not avail
 Acknowledge them before you
 All waning to mineral
 Aureate dissent
 In the shackles of significance
 Inviolate cruelty
 To the mortal structure
 Endorsing affliction
 Skull splintering like dull glass
 A discarded mosaic
