Phoenix
--
Unfamiliar
Earth beneath my feet
Tranquility is vast
In my hand it escapes less readily than water
Thoughts seem empty
Sublime in flavor it hunts me down
No teeth or mark to bear
These holdings seem comforting
Without them I meet it
Talented beyond measure
My worthy adversary
Fierce beard and killer smile
Rebuild this citadel
My flesh between your teeth
Disposition numbness to your conscious
Remember that moment
Elegant destruction
Unbecoming solitude
Far from lucid
This feeling creeps
I know you well old friend
Amber alpenglow
Seemingly the earth shakes
My earth is shaking
My temple screams
Forgive me
Weary mind
I straighten these vertebrae
Posture
Every nerve reawakens as if from a coma
Snow revitalize my senses
Resolute
Sirens haunt me at night
Enchanting melodies lick my warm skin
Nightmares
The call of one draws me
It dissolves thy pensive
My tortured sacrarium
Bring me peace
7.62mm
Promise me
Divide the divine
Bringer of judgment
More Amber
I cannot stop
My eyes numb
At last my iris' constrict
Surge of conviction
I will do one last thing with my power
Infinite in fury
One last time brimstone caresses this screen
I give it to you
Harbinger of sunflowers
