Marionetta
From the chthonic chasm, I materialize in sarcophagus
Spectral filaments of the netherworld
Spiral in a maelstrom around my silhouette
Osseous structures fracture contort
I ascend from the fecund terra firma
A cadaverous marionette oscillates in a morbid gavotte
Sole rhapsodic within squirming pas de deux of maggots
Serpentine parasites worming through my arteries
They convulse in the shadowy alcoves of my psyche
A conspiracy of ravens gyrates around my skeletal form
They erupt into a macabre tableau of viscera
Matter sculpts flesh onto my ossified framework
With fervid delight, my vertebral column contorts
It assembles a creature of abysmal profundity
If you yearn for obscurity, then let this be the umbra
Queen summoning the penumbra that engulfs all luminosity
Sepulchers fracture and cleave as I resurrect the deceased
Symbolic dirges of a Stygian necromancer reverberate in the ether
Gravelly chorus of a legion, I orchestrate an abattoir of scythes
I reanimate my undead warriors, to be nourished back to life
Hamlets and metropolises, we usher a pervasive pestilence
The screams, lamentations, lovely death knells decadence
Like my sustenance stationary, it’s so much more delectable
Muscles weak already tenderized for our feast
Unleash the hornets, exterminate the butterflies and bees
Pollination halts now, your oxygen gradually will decrease
Locusts strip your gardens of nutrients, you no longer can eat
Eclipsing storm clouds usher sanguinary rain, rot all the meat
Ruby hailstones shatter window panes, claws can creep
Each rivulet a larva to burrow inside, thread my strings
Puppet to Marionetta’s reign, grotesque waltz to your finale
