Higherfall
(The Child has torn out its wings, and the two beings known as the Owl and Wolf are summoned.)
From where have we fallen?
Who's grace have we lost?
Now what is my sin?
The one they abhor?
Whose hell is it, this time?
Has the decay begun?
Eternal whores of causal law
This futile war once more!
Know that we are now here!
Watch the changes
as they change
Weak hearts not meant to grasp
Strengthened by a uniformed facade
Facade!
Afflicted phallus
Seeking spine
Doubtful tongue
Discerning heart
Assimilating viscera
Thoughtless flesh
Ascending eyes
The eyes! The eyes! The eyes!
We are here now
Why have you called us?
Name yourself child
Why have you called us?
We are here now
Why have you called us?
Name yourself child
Why have you called us?
Speak your heart now
Why have you called us?
We shall hear you
Why have you called us?
Cast your fear out
Why have you called us?
Raise your eyes child!
Why have you called us?!
I
Choose
To fall!
Here Now the Gathered
(The Owl and Wolf share a brief glance; within that moment, much is understood.)
A scream from a past forgotten
Forgiven may your sins be
But it haunts me in my memory
Till the end of time
I denounce my humanity!
And still, there is one scream against this legion
Charging against the wind
Against the sands of time
One sword, this burning fire
No final desire
Blessed by causality
My soul is condemned
To go on for eternity
See it through
Till the end!
Light shines
On the unsheathed sword
Could it be the last time
I see the light
Again
I can hear you beside me
Come lend me your strength
And now
It matters not if the war is won!
Gathered!
Gathered!
Gathered!
Gathered...
Gathered! The howl of the gathered! The howl of the gathered! I hear the howl of the gathered!
Gathered! The howl of the gathered! The howl of the gathered! I hear...
Oh Madness, seduce me
This darkness has no use for me
Unbound and endless
I've glimpsed it within me
The time will come
The time has come
The time will come!
The time has come!
For us to reign free!
Curse of Silence
(The Child speaks for the first time, its intention clear.)
Why of all curses,
This curse?
The curse
Of Silence
The skies did not darken
Nor did the smiles fade
And so was stolen the innocence
A cage born within a cage
Consecrate
Then desecrate
My reasons of existence
Violate
And martyr me
Keep the sacred river flowing
Who's to be blamed?
When one's right
Is another's wrong
What control was given
To the insects washed
Away by the storm
Where is the truth?
The essence of all pursuits
Etched in our nature
The future written
At all costs we pursue
Who is the Doer?
Am I the Deceiver?!
And now I watch myself ascend
As I tear apart...
I know what's right and wrong
Yet my anger compels me
What's mine cannot be me
My sorrow commands me
No price too high to pay
Why won't they play their own game
Not a single soul shall be left behind
To hate and curse my name!
Curse my name!
Consecrate
Then desecrate
My reasons of existence
Violate
And martyr me
Keep this sacred river flowing
The consequence
Of guilt and shame
Will not change a single thing
Chosen to fall
Destined to fail
I shall bear all their sins!
Resolve of the Shattered Voice
(The Wolf responds to the child after it has made its intent known. The Owl responds, but the realization of what is inevitable dawns on him.)
Such familiar words
From a voice
I've heard before
My soul recognizes yours
The twice shattered
once again reforms
All the births and the deaths
The pointless futile battles
The worlds we have crossed
To bring you the words
Our fury is ancient
Our sorrow is ancient
This desire so ancient
On the same soil it stands!
It matters not, if the war is ever won
The only solace left is within the storm...
Lead your demons
“Follow! Get in line!”
Potent Magick! Thou shall be thine own sign!
Realize what you really are
Reclaim the throne
The power that was never lost
Nothing; Noone
Shall deny
Our birthright!
Oh Seed, can you see?
The glorious tree that you'll flourish to be?
The gates are now open
The miracle
Tainted not scarred
Can you see your own reflection?
The two
Within one
Fool!
What have you done?!
You have cursed us all!
Cursed us all!
and I foresee your downfall!
This is no mere genocide
Forcing my hand
Betrayal and suicide
Our unholy suicide!
I offer not my wings
But my very life
Can you see your own reflection?
My curse will give you sight
Torn Wings Shall Grow
(The Child contemplates its actions and the resulting consequences, but all it does is strengthen its resolve.)
Resolve of the Bowed Head
(The Goddess of Causality has reared its face. The two now must make a decision and accept the consequences that come with it.)
Blessed are the ones that cannot see
No choices can be made in waking dreams
Seeking a sun that shines but never seen
What else can we do in a world where no one wins
Will you look away for once?
Will you make the first move?
When everyone is watching
and when no one else sees
I am not the one that stands before you
I am not the one who breathes
Dragged by a million different currents
And all paths lead me to this
I am not the monster that stands before you
I am not the one who breathes
Dragged by a million different currents
And all paths lead me to thee
Fall Deceiver
Die Deceiver, Deceiver
Rise Deceiver
Strike Deceiver, Deceiver
It must be done...
(25/12/2019 18:01)
Oh inert God!
The line is crossed
Even you can't hope
To uphold the silence and rot!
The wish must be granted
His will shall be done
And none shall bear witness
How what is to come
No lie shall be spoken
No truth be concealed
armed with these as my weapons
With resolve I shall wield
44th Stutter
(It is done. What was meant to happen, happened, but to whom does the blame really belong?)
