I Am the Gateway

At the barren edge of the silence of night
 'neath the snare where the snake sheds its skin
 Where the rivers of our strangest dreams collide
 I ventured into the wilderness of death's awakening
 To seek for that which all others abhor
 On a road that defies the course of the world
 With the blood of my heart seal the fated oath
 At the point where all moments unfurl
 I chance my all for everything other
 My soul unto you, demon and brother
 Into the circle where eye must meet eye
 With the one who is all that I am not
 And the night is but all that lies in between
 Where sown is my self's seed
 Within the torn tome of destiny
 All secrets are tied to none strangling noose
 That's solved and rebound upon the gallows hill's top
 And in a storm of peacock feathered bliss
 Shall strange new wine fall into my cup
 For between the cold fingers fetching sense
 Falls golden sparks and the fallen angels seed
 That flows into the core of crossroads
 Where all paths crooked and narrow must lead
 Doorways unlocked, chalice overturned
 I slit the jaded throat that sings the wretched world
 And dive into the instant, the void of your face
 Where the veins of God opens beneath my lightning bolt blade
 The hour is struck, the time is at hand
 To rewrite the rhymes that our cruel fate once planned
 O Devil and God, on your road I embark
 For we are bound everlasting by pact, birth and a murderer's mark
