Empire Down I

Sing this song of immortality This rhythm of life lived in neuro fire Feel the tone of deep oscillations Taste the song on tongues divided! The rise of empire The building of the divine The godhood of man at the base of creation Crucified on crosses of iron, Feeling electric columns of fire! So sing this song of empire and redemption Sing the righteous song of rage Feeling the rhythm of ages Immortality of wings Rise this jade n gold filigreed crown Grace this delicate stage Sing! This empire down Watch the west the coming white The empress of non & nothing begun Watch the razored ravens take flight Sing! This empire down This rhythm n rage of life as neurons fire Crash this bloody ruined crown Sing this song of immortality! This! The righteous song of rage Feeling the rhythm of ages Empire down!

Yeah this is awesome and full of lovely cryptic imagery. Learned a new word “filigree” which is an absolutely sick and obscure piece of language that I will definitely be using later on lol. Thanks for this, I will also be reading your stuff too (as usual)…if only I didn’t have to work 12 hour days I’d do only this. Very motivating work, I got skin tingles, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the kind words, yes if we did not have to work at all we could spend all that time writing. Time to play the lottery… lol
