Hellion - SIRUS, C-Lekktor

children running

racing seraphim

moving forward

faster, grey and thin

losing perception

ignorant and hostile

fallacies multiplying

insolence and trojan smiles

draining slowly

cold and seething

step back and force it down

to keep me dreaming

falling slowly

feeling nothing

I cut myself a mouth

to keep me breathing

decimate

fighting a winning battle, losing a war

desolate

no hope before us for a kinder world

fighting a winning battle

losing a war

no hope before us for a kinder world

but what a beautiful way to burn

what a beautiful way to burn the memories of the past

take their place amongst the hopeless

as you tighten your grip

just to stay in control

and your heart skips a beat

as the world you know collapses

as you tie off your veins

just to steady the flow

students of ignorance

eating holes in our defense

tying tighter tourniquets

praise the god asphyxiant

hellion a grace that tears a void

movement our eyes avoid

the strain,

our bridges collapsing

and through the throat of drought

I’ll show you where we drowned

away,

a fever relapsing
