To Kill and Kill Again

[To kill and kill again
 On the eleventh day, he reached out his hand
 and made the sign of parting,
 spoke the words of taking leave
 and of never going back]
 To breathe the air of dreams
 To walk upon a path of bodies
 To know what carnal means
 To live the law of hate and cold flesh
 Wailing for the solace in a lie
 No echo here. No truth. No time
 To blind the eye to see
 To feed on every broken moment
 To kill and kill again
 To end it all while it's unfolding
 To know the only way:
 To love the beast and then to beg it
 to die from every wound
 Listen as the mourning herald sings
 the dirge to which we march in time
 Crawling naked 'neath the burning stars,
 sleeping beauty dries
 Never
