Fire in the Sky

Arrive in spite
Arise in war
Blood and bone
Through earth they bore
Fountains of wealth
Spring forth to life
Ark of the ancients
Sacrificed
Fire in the sky
Illuminating
Never-ending lies
Infiltrating
Burn through my veins
Malignancy of blood
Alight the catacombs
Drowned by the flood
When the skin and flesh turn into dust
When the poisoned water tastes of rust
Dissect the artery, let it spill
Spirits swallowed by the swill
Raise their obelisk
Violent design
Daggers that pierce the vessel’s shell
Through root and vine
Impurity swells up from the wells within
Fractured remains
Spewing out the carbon sin
Fire in the sky
Illuminating
Never-ending lies
Infiltrating
Burn through my veins
Malignancy of blood
Alight the catacombs
Drowned by the flood
Burn, in the fires of perdition
In the swallow of submission
Hellfire, rains from above
The bodies pile up
When the skin and flesh turn into dust
When the poisoned water tastes of rust
Dissect the artery, let it spill
Spirits swallowed by the swill
Raise their obelisk
Violent design
Daggers that pierce the vessel’s shell
Through root and vine
Impurity swells up from the wells within
Fractured remains
Spewing out the carbon sin
River of life, tribe of old
Depart this life into the cold
The faintest glow brings shadows forth
If not ours now, then no one’s more
