a remniscant heartbeat pounding faster 

each pulse a step closer to violent death 

say your prayers, then be taken 

not above but far below 



from the womb a bloody foetus 

as devil's soldiers or heaven's slaves 

the essence of the word forsaken 

is, alas, thy waiting fate 



there is no god or master 

that can take you away from here 



ever present fierce and frightening 

confronting us all or haunting our dreams 

my only hope is that it takes us with it 

and erases the memory of all that's redeemed 



humanitys fall is the price for creation 

developing backwards...back into black 

the chance is now to kill the enemy 

for he is what you see in the mirror's glass
