Smell of Vitriol

Return of the Ageless Manifesto
Cutting through the righteous circle
Come, bear darkness forth
Antagonist — it is set
Flaring fallout
Desecrated air
Conceive a world of pain
As you struggle to breathe
Ye who speak i parabels
What has it all come to?
You’ve seen it in dead end walls
Without craft to heal, nor stare it down
What gnaws from within
Can no longer be defeated
As clouds gather over
As vital reserves are draining
We shall absorb this Vitriol
Founded on cynicism and hate
Vacant faces tear away
Bereft of the saviour’s gift
All that remains
Is an indign world slowly coming to grips
With its bleak fate
Leave it be
Or suffer perpetual haunt
