Once...

Once blood befell this surface

That clawed transparent cope

Bedewed with crimson soak

I

I held the sun

And knit that carnal vortex

To leave the soul undone

I rent the chaste

I ruled the sullen blight

I left the soul to waste

I lit the uncreated light

Inflame the blister on my skin

Inflame the scissure in my sin

Inflame the glow, that smouldering inside

The scardust

Black

Black shone the day

That dark enchanted torch

That burnt my flesh to clay

Inflamed by fear

It seared my force

To fester sinful tears

Thus wept my wounds without remorse

Inflame the blister on my skin

Inflame the scissure in my sin

Inflame the fire to burn inside my soul

The scardust
