Torch The Tower

(Are we?)
Ions in the atmosphere
Apocalypse electric
Friction Sparks
Familiar predictions

(Were we?)
Pre-conceived notions without priority
Gathering dust and authority
Ancient inoculations
Still pushing our survival


(Running from?)
Primeval dreams without wheels
Haunted caverns without leaves
Echoes of frenzied footsteps of thieves
Gold Glory and Crystal ornamentation
A Conspiracy of soft voices
A Punishment for counted sins

(Waiting for?)
Gatherings of aliens
War dances and radiance
Defeating death and darkness
Fleeting Youth
Blood & Menace
Liquid Serpentine Deviations


(Haunted by?)
Scented Choices
And Candles
Melancholy desires
Heresy hypocrisy
Our Precious Pride

(Could it be?)
Everything was conceived in a trip
In a seamless void
Since we were not fearful, then
Of the contradictions of a reality
Of our callous thoughts
As they morphed into the possible future

(Am I?)
A belonging
Here
and
Now
Fractured
Cranial cracks widening
A Dissolving dead weight
In the dark and still waters of madness


An Archaic Metamorphosis

(To become?)
A hope in a shallow cast
Which remains
and reconciles.

(Will I ?)
Torch The Tower
Warn the vessels in the dreadful angry sea
Of impending
Wreck and Ruin
That awaits in silence
On the far side of
A dark horizon
