Maere (On a Stillbirth's Tomb) - The Ruins Of Beverast

Draws the dusk through the eyes of an insect

Salivates for the whore Echidna

Thirsty glance up the sunlit towers

Leaves it doomed and broken in the end

She is no deity, no saviouress

Not in her monumental splendour

Not in her ashen malice

And as the Maere on a stillbirth’s tomb

Once again, her virgin dress is draped with shreds of flesh

Mildewed prison, candlelit barely

The whore Echidna, suckling

A salacious glare in its eyes

Sore limbs, sore teats, savage tongue…

She is no deity, no saviouress

Not in her monumental splendour

Not in her ashen malice

And as the Maere on a stillbirth’s tomb

Once again, her virgin dress is draped with shreds of flesh

Regurgitate with greed

She won’t let it starve…

Six legs lead it astray… in circles… astray… in circles…

Astray… astray… astray… astray…

Has it now passed the years that could have left it blind???
