Mournful Benediction
Come in my old friend
Just take a seat
Here at the end
With me
The Benediction takes hold
Corrupting my soul
The tedium of isolation
Has grown so cold
In your absence, I languish
Existing in perpetual suffering
It's the mere complications of grief
Those things I kept inside
Keep you alive, to me
They call me insane
But they’ll see
(You, the way I do)
As I sink deep
I’ve come to see
A sick tragedy
But i'll conquer the suffering
Through your words
(As I sink so deep through your words)
Through your words
I’ll conjure this horrid charade
Just to bring you back
I’ll become the wrath
So I can remember
The day my reality shook
I could taste the iron in the air
The crimson sight of hatred emanates
From the deep black stare
Suffering continues to invade
The memory of your face so
I’ll bury it
With the true enemies
Of your empathy
Entropy lives
Agony thrives
As I cast my vengeance
Upon the destitute doomed
And the one thing that mattered
Was taken away from me
I'll build a monument
The inscription is my mournful benediction
My epitaph, for you
We’ll Consecrate that ground
With blood
Cursing me, yet
Blessing me
With sight from the afterlife
The pleasing yet mournful benediction I crave
Insurmountable
Feats of pain and loss
Begin,
My gleeful vexing belligerent vengeance
Towards such small gods
They’ll see what I do
As they sink deep
They’ll come to see
What real tragedy
Comes from your suffering
(They’ll know suffering through your words)
Through your words
I’ll conjure this horrid charade
Just to bring you back
I’ll become the wrath
Will you be the one
(Covered in soot
Moving through time
Blessing my pain
Corrupting the mind)
My destiny
Corrupting the mind
My Destiny
Will you become
The one blessing my pain
Tell me again
How will I bend
I’ll lie again
As you reap through the thoughts in my mind
Nothing
Can save your
Memory from all of my torment and fear
Nothing, can
Keep me from the deep
Well of crippling despair In me
MOURNFUL BENEDICTION
We’ll build a monument
Consecrate the ground in blood
These words echoed
On the stone of catacombs
Or so I'm told
The pain can you bring you back to me
I’ll summon pain to conjure you
Searing ash graphed to my skin
As I stand trembling at the base of the black fire
Will the shame I left behind be enough to satiate deaths
Ceaseless hunger
Unending torment
Broken, left to the vices
In apocalyptic pain
Enshrouded by a fog
Obscuring my agony
Mournfully
I’ll sacrifice whatever,
no matter the currency
Just allow my penance
To alter the sentence
Condemning the maker
That brutally hates us
While purging the blood of the sin
To Blacken
The blessing
So Bleed with me my darling
For thy mournful benediction
This unholy deed
My Immeasurable greed
Will bring you back to me
No matter the suffering
(I’ll bleed
From these wounds
So that I may bless
Thine Suffering)
