I was rapped by orderlies

Gnawed on by rats

Given a lobotomy

Half-drowned in ice baths…

They tried to break me,

Erase me, disgrace me…

Through mental sodomy…

But

I will fight…

I will rise…

I will fight…

I will rise…

Like a Hydra

From the

Ash…

Like a Hydra

From the

Ash.

Another sermon

Of choking smoke

&billowing rage…

It seems this is all it takes

To force the angels to wake

To bring their ivory faces

Buried deep within their wings…

To come, come fly with me.

Come, come fly with me…

Feed it.

Fuck it.

Breed it.

Eat it.

Feed it.

Fuck it.

Breed it.

Eat it.

So many motives

So many totems…

I don’t do this for revenge you see

It’s more of a calling…

The priest who had a taste for it’s flock

Tender sheep

Boys and girls

I made a l&out of him

And now

He is the light of the world…

The nun who shot smack from

The stolen tithing cash

I burned her to ash but her

Teeth made a fine pearly necklace…

The senator who buried

His mistress on the back nine

His skull is a goblet for my favorite wine…

You see I need these beautiful moments

When I am unyoking my opponents

Limb from limb

In the knotted irons of combat…

It’s as close to true intimacy

As I can ever hope to reach…

Naked monsters

In the dark

Ripped to shreds &torn apart…

The sheets will be our evidence

Of the blasphemies we invent…

Feed it.

Fuck it.

Breed it.

Eat it.

Feed it.

Fuck it.

Breed it.

Eat it.

Feed it.

Fuck it.

Breed it.

Eat it.

Feed it.

Fuck it.

Eat it.

Repeat it.

Fuck it.

Eat it.

Repeat it.

Fuck it.

Eat it.
