Eyes fixed. Jaw clenched.
My blood boils in anticipation,
But my face betrays me nothing.
So fly, my ire, into rhapsodic rage
And bleed your filth into my name.
My desire waxes all the same.
Your eyes widen with realization.
I trace the lines of fear on your face,
Receive what you have earned.
Spark to fire, the ignition is repeated.
In severalty.
It is my misfortune that reality and imagination inhabit separate spheres,
for I reside, at times, on their seam.
I am just.
I exhibit your offenses on your flesh.
I etch your trespasses into your flesh.
In my disdain I enchain you impure.
Ironic impulsive inflammatory indulgents.
Can you find freedom through forgiveness?
I am seized with bitterness.
Release me
And fly, my ire, into vapid shades.
That I may split this iron cage
Lest I rot within its frame.
Your scope is narrow,
And your vision is tunneled.
Lust clouds your sight and it destroys us.
If you saw, truly saw,
It would break you.
Why, my brother, do you harm me so?
When I uncage you,
I will liberate us both.
It is no longer
My judgement that condemns you.
Here is the key. Walk.
Tongues, the better with to test you.
Tongues, the better with to heal you.
Tongues, the better with to bless you.
Tongues, the better with to fear you.
Borrowing to different saturated metal sub-genres does not guarantee quality.
But when a band manages to leverage said sub-genres, the humble yet hilarious listener is turned to a silent witness of a thrilling work of art. unidual
