Burnt out necropolis

Sinking fire sear dead

Second traitor soul powerless

Resist those who would silence

Remove the wrappings

Which fetter my mouth

In empty aching vessel

Stop time decay

Feel like fire dying

A voice but no words

An eternity but no soul


Give me voice withered lips

Shattered teeth forced with bitter iron

Hiss of escaping last gasp

Cult like mortician knife

All that remains is remains


Void turns in wheel

Turning slowly in the starless dust never

Like western lights

Sinking and sluttering

I am now fading

Body rot in the row

Caught in pull of time

Suffering second final death alone

I am alone

And empty like a tomb of archaic years


Where is the beast who shut out the light?

Left in the dark of incomplete empty

The powerless flesh atrophy in stone casket

I am alone, abandoned

I am become death


Take leering golden jackal

Take from tortured vision

Saliva drip from jaws

Breath from middens


Footprints of slime on pathway to Duat


Where is the power

Cut string marionette

Turn back those who would restrain me

Bound hands reach for neck of Jackal

Merge of past and future

Sprint machine fail

Remove the wrappings

Which fetter my mouth

In empty aching vessel

Stop time decay

I am alone

I am abandoned

I am powerless

I am become death
