Obliteration

In the rearview recesses I spy crestfallen stresses Binding might tugging my lift When I grasp your tiny hand I plunge into that quicksand Until my breath begs to drift Once the daylight fades away I won't miss that solar play Since we dance in lethal night Lost in our covert nexus Ghouls taunt my solar plexus One spark shall flare to ignite As we torch that powder keg Shrapnel penetrates my leg Just as I get ripped apart You stay immune to the blast While my head goes flying past Sift carnage to find my heart He still pulses in your palm Singing his percussive psalm Even after duty fails Stuff that muscle in your bag Time to call your friends to brag Celebrate your love travails Once your festive delight dies Tell me all that you despise Severed ears heed your harangue I may be goo on the wall Yet I'm not concerned at all Since I went out with a bang
