Silent Are The Watchers

Dismember


If my wrath broke up tombs 
and swept away tresholds 
pushing broken old values 
into dark pits 
if my hate would blow 
rotten words to dust 
like a cleansing wind 
through moulding graves 

Then I could rejoice 
where gods lay entombed 
covered with the sands of time 
beside the keepers of a dying faith 

Silent are the watchers 

Even I would love the church 
if the sun watchers down 
through cracked domes 
on the worms below 

Silent are the watchers 
gargoyles of a glorious past 
perc hed upon their thrones 
in cold shadow cast 
across infinite reaches 
unto new morals 
away from this filthy domain
