Shroud of Humanity

A cold whimper under iced breath The glow of ember extinguished, crowned with thorn

He laughs and clings to death Eviscerating sheep

The beast is still malnourished

Bound and gagged, prodded and probed The Pope, the god of sodomy

He spreads his wings, his cross, his cloak And births a shroud of humanity Religion billows the flame Plaguing the atmosphere With idolatry and bigotry 3 nails fall from your sky Driving into your coffin

 Flesh tears bone exposed Starting anew

A shroud over humanity Poisoned tales of plague Promise of peace

You nurture only jealousy Lull in waking

The earth, it quakes

And as you're shaking Comes a storm of calamity Creating God, immaculate robes Smearing the scrolls of history Brothers slain for murderous thrones As mothers clench their rosary Apostles, self-righteous maggot feasts Spread their breath like leprosy

A muse for obliteration

Eternal damnation by the jealous one Arriving at the gates of the church Obscuring the truth

The tainted blood of a virgin-born

A device of torture affixed upon the spire Towering crossed beams shadow cowering pawns

In this labyrinth I stand

The black of truth blankets my aching soul

The azure sky shimmers with bundled shining stars Blood fills trenches like festering crimson scars Are you so vain, you cannot see what you've built? You pledge allegiance to the United States of Filth And to the republic of dying men,

all the nations playing god

As liberty and justice fall so do we all

Bound and gagged, prodded and probed. Atop the steeple of prophecy I spread my wings, across his throat

Removing this shroud of humanity

Shroud of Bumanity
