A crash of lightening overhead
Striking the side of the crypts
Where the dead are laid to rest
In a fitful slumber of worms
As decaying flesh falls back
Revealing the ivory structures
The temples of our soul

Traveling amongst the graven pillars
I can feel their spirits near
Immortal sirens of heaven’s song
And hell’s burning fire and ice
I wipe tears from cold stone cheeks
The death angels who are crying blood
Crimson stains my hands and garments
As unseeing eyes stare on

I write my name upon a grave
With demon’s ichor and angel’s life
Knowing I am not far away
From their eternal, final embrace
The rain then comes and washes away...
Washes away all I have known
And leaves me alone inside my bed
...My tomb, my grave, my sepulchre
I’m afraid it’s all the same in the end

The angels kiss you and the demons embrace you
While your family mocks you and friends kill you
As I am led back to the place where...
It all began, I suppose, and ends
The tomb, the womb... it’s all the same
And the pain overwhelms you, and the
Pleasure burns, until there’s no difference

I wait for the epiphany to bring it all together
But I feel that it will never come
In the chaos and peace, the silence and noise
The love and the hate, the life and sweet death
All together on that cemetery night
