King of Kings: 91-172
11 Contracted in this state our marriage made
And only far too late we recognize
That gladly with Reptilian Flesh we’ve laid
The veil torn away revealing eyes
Of yellow flame exposéd we surmise
Out from the darkened room these floating orbs
No longer hidden ‘neath a nightly guise
We try to look away but it absorbs
Consuming all we are, becoming hordes.
12 A vicious lie beneath a treachery
A lie from which we cannot look away
We love this all consuming lechery
We love the Beast demanding that we stay
“Absolve yourself” quoth Rex in gravely bray
No need to rage against your master now
All things I’ll grant to you just kneel and pray
Eternal pleasure for your soul I vow
Relinquish it! That awful burden. Bow!
13 So held in desperate stupor we must wait
As New Jerusalem pounds at the door
That bride adorned by God now filled with hate
Against this Serpent’s kin she doth implore,
“Release my love and rot! Deceiving whore!
Return your corpse to hell and burn in flame!”
No answer heard, collapsing on the floor
She weeps for Human weakness, cursing name
“Oh Father! God!” quoth she, “It’s you I blame!”
14 O must I suffer like my mother, Eve?
So helplessly betrayed by wicked snake?
A measly apple eaten? No reprieve?
And this describes the justice that you make?
So tell me God the rule I now forsake?
The fitting crime committed by my hand
That justifies the ancient vow you break
To save my lover from their own remand
And I Oh God! Left watching. Helpless! Damned!
15 If only I could tear with holy might
These bolts out from the wall and wrap around
That filthy gorge these hands, they gripping tight
And strangle horrid Rex upon the ground!
Its final kingly words a gurgling sound
The lifeless corse, I’d leave in haunted stare
Alone to answer for the sins it’s found
In Hell, A massive stone to bear
Upon Its scaley back forever there.
16 That rock which God himself hath built upon
Behold his founding Church victorious
Displayed atop that Satan’s earthly spawn
Like Atlas holding Earth laborious
My God I see it now! So Glorious!
The evil of the Earth confined at last
Under the heavy weight of furious
True laws of saints and prophets of the past
Those brave and persecuted righteous caste
17 And God now spoke to New Jerusalem,
My child you know the answer to your cries
Why spirits must not interfere with them
The humans on the Earth, they must surmise
Amongst themselves the Holy truth from lies
The love we give must freely be returned
Else what we love, mere slaves in human guise
Not human anymore their freedom spurned
Remember child the lessons that you’ve learned.
18 O spare me God! These lectures that you teach!
That so called heart of yours lies buried down
‘Neath heaps of Holy pride no love can reach
That piece long lost and never to be found
For I your daughter here in wedding gown
Must freshly die alone each day
While you so satisifed will watch me pound
Upon this wretched door in vain and pray
BANG! BANG! Come back to me my love I say!
19 BANG! BANG! Explosive power shakes the air
BANG! BANG! Release them you deceiving whore!
BANG! BANG! In Rex’s eyes we deeply stare
BANG! BANG! She thunders at the bedroom door
BANG! BANG! The sound consumes the engine floor.
BANG! BANG! Dark shapes do tend the searing flames
BANG! BANG! And keep alive the monstrous core.
BANG! BANG! These servants with their sickly frames
BANG! BANG! The sacrifice that Rex so claims.
