The Ephemeral Burden

Putrescence adorning the lands
The wreckage of aspiration and hope
Relics of a distant past lie crushed in ruin
The cold winds howl my name
Through dead trees, arms outstretched
Nothing here remains, but fragments
Fading into obscurity
All are nothing
The earth shall inherit the meek
I expunge that which defiles
The flames that purge and purify
The fires that cleanse and justify
I lay waste to the wasted.

Boughs bent with the weight of a thousand corpses
Hanging bodies grin their skeletal smile
Yellow skin stretched tight over bleached bones
In celebration of humanity's fall
The cloying stench of rot
Permeates the autumn firmament
The fetid odour of decay hangs heavily in the air
And heartily do i draw breath
Inhaling dissolution
Drinking in the demise of humanity
Scattered leaves ablaze in autumns fire
I celebrate the fall of man
I am the deliverer of judgement
Heralding total extinction
Alone i stand in triumph
In exaltation
Holding sway over this eminent holocaust
Enraptured in blissful decrepitude.
