the dais

from four deaths by Everson Poe

/

lyrics

unburdened by time
accursed immortal
a vaporous form
a rapturous sound
an altar of flame
a sacrifice given
the life of a man
for power unbound

the gods won’t hear your prayers
the mighty ones are gone
the ruin of men is here
the winter, everlong

the storm has begun
the snow falls forever
surrounded by ice
a warmth at its core
the dais remains
the altar aflame

born from filth
bathed in blood
ice will melt
rain will flood

he drinks the poison
he tastes the earth
he weds the emptiness
he breathes a curse

a plague upon the conscience
a plague upon the mind
forgotten tongues recite the verse
to leave this world behind

he floats into the ether
as if a dying sun
the life within his bosom fades
and so his will is done
