waiting to exhale

silent sacred pause 
for Earth's final soliloquy

Stuff your rock stars, your heros, your christs,
your anti-christs and anarchiests.
Stuff your false idols up your arse.
Stuff your regenerative ramblings;
the spiel of a million others

Never heard of in many years
To wallow in their carnage
Spreading their demonic fears
 
Spirited from the underworld
The blackened depths...
