Pain, Pneumatic

Pain, pneumatic. Sick, my soul.
Hatred, sing in me.
Catching static, Oversoul?
Blind but now I see.

Cone, erupt. Caldera, burn.
Sacred? Nothing. Know:
Tamarisk a-taciturn!
Creation? Hell go!

Fleabag? Emptiness, take hold.
Overflow, toilet.
By God, it's been getting cold!
Heaven, don't you fret.

Apocalypse, come. End Times, go.
Curtain ash, descend.
Falling with an even flow!
Heart within, ne'er bend.

Anger, choke another.
In me you'd want to fly.
Brother, seen thy mother?
No other needs to die!

Tympani, crush. Wargod, beat drum.
Hope, take a new form.
Better dead than live like some!
Hellfire, dark flame, warm.

Train, leave. Empty cars, with death.
Doom, take a deep breath.
Storm, roll in. Wield lightning, Seth.
Zeus, the sea of Tethys...
