Flood of Predation

My lip curls before untested virtue,

The hubris that clamors from beyond the arena's walls.

The wailings of the uninitiated that stream from protected halls.

Nature's teeth rend away their holy gate;

Flames from the wild beyond prepare their kindled fate.

Screams for empty justice will fill the wood's lung;

Their deception be exposed in the ash of their smoldering tongues.

I will exist in the action of death,

A hunter of false light.

Lies will bleed from Heaven's body

As I chain its flesh to the night.

I've split hope's brow upon the claws of revelation.

Now, a wave of wisdom rushes into a flood of predation.

My ankles are bound by the dark mother's root

(She loves with the pain of unlearning);

Head collector of dualistic delusions,

In the palace of her mind, Utopia is found burning.

She taught me the tenderless compassion, 

Poured her gold upon love weakened by mercy.

I glitter with tributes to her treasured violence;

A beast of prey accepts his journey.

I will exist in the action of death,

A hunter of false light.

Lies will bleed from Heaven's body

As I chain its flesh to the night.

I've split hope's brow upon the claws of revelation.

Now, a wave of wisdom rushes into a flood of predation
