Bethlehem

The Black Serpent

Bethlehem


The dead constellation, destined for the 
downfall 
uncovers the allmighty winnows 
that lie in icy grave, 
exiled by the light 

The rock that's stiffened in itself 
follows the nocturnal cry 
of the doomed angel 
and gives birth to the black serpent 
in the shoot of the cleansing decay 

The whore with the poisoned eyes 
that are lit by dark moonlight 
is like chaste blasphemy 
in the middle of a deepblack lake 

Only when stone chains, born in the shrine made 
of bone, 
lift up the stream of my animalistic duality to 
the source 
of the dark power 

It will be the password 
that you forgot 
like the chair 
that has been missing for some time
