Oblivion's Wheel
Turning
Across this land
Across this fractured waste
With each cycle of the earth,
The Joker in repose
The Tower in flame
The Enchantress a blaze
Death does not make the change
Fortune is crucified on his Thorny Spine
It grinds on and on never stopping never slowing.
The Queen of all men’s hearts
Laughs hysterically at the passing of time
The loss of mankind’s design
The Joker on the run
The Tower drifting in ruins
The Emperor in rule
The Hangman dying
The Lovers in oblivion
The Four Horseman all a knowing
Oblivians Wheel turning
Burning forever turning across
These are the backs of the damned
Skulls scream across this black, blackened Sand
Where death did run, grand
The Cabals of mice n men, a flame
Worshipers of the Gun, demand
Onto the Tower ablaze
A fortune is bled of fates
Nothing is ever claimed
The petty plans of a master of shame
All blowing in the changing winds
All lost in these Ebony Sand for years
Just a ripple in the abyssal pond, deep
Digging for the dark gold
At the end of the storm
Ending in voids dead socket
Or cards of destiny in the spokes
Of a child gods grand cycle
Shards of infinities expire
Nothing is what it is
A continuum
An infant gods training wheels
Turn
Deep in the murky green bottle
A corrupted Chronometer n string, twine, wire
Turning across this land
Across this fractured waste
With each cycle of the earth,
The Joker arose
The Tower tumbling down
The Enchantress slane
Death does make the change
Fortune is crucified on its greed
It grinds on and on never stopping, slowing.
The Queen of all humanities hearts
Laughs hysterically at the passing of the Cosmos
The loss of mankind’s innocence
The Joker on the run
The Tower drifting in ruins
The Emperor in rule
The Langman lying
The Lovers in paradise
Around around
Where to stop no one knows
Nowhere to go
No one knows
There is nothing to end
No one can see
The Emptiness
The Deceit
Or Feel
The distant turning of
Oblivion's Wheel
