|
|
He is an empty shell. Shell-shocked luciferian heart.
|
He is an empty shell. Drained and sealed.
|
He is an empty shell. Penetrating cold.
|
He is an empty shell. Empty luciferian soul.
|
|
How furiously and bombastic
|
he proclaimed his destruction of a mortal coil.
|
In the end it seemed
|
this was his only possession.
|
|
Long past were his "glorious" days
|
of filth and lies.
|
And he has reached out to stop time
|
at its end.
|
|
He is an empty shell. Shell-shocked luciferian heart.
|
He is an empty shell. Drained and sealed.
|
He is an empty shell. Penetrating cold.
|
He is an empty shell. Empty luciferian soul.
|
|
The constant struggle for a moment of quiet indulgence
|
eventually stirred and quaked the Earth so hard.
|
It swallowed him in a dark and heavy cloud,
|
slowly and gently starving him into insanity.
|
|
An inferno of ice
|
with an ever-burning, bleeding heart.
