lyrics

Chapter 69: The Funeral

Tick-tock:
Massive life to chalk,
And all foul inclinations rise.
The proof of a total disregard
In intemperate scavenging.

Think here
Of a death to fear,
As all grand intellection sums
To a nothing, to a phantom, a disgrace
To those remembering.

Umbrella sky
In the purview of Venus,
But out of the sky
Only frenzy and rape,
Not by design or divinity,
Only by absence of mind.

By chance,
Every touch and glance
Dissolves, but not all agency relies
On existence; your specter lingers on
With false alacrity,

To scare our savagery.
