A meaningless form of existence - invalid, obsolete The founding structures of Eden - scourged, incomplete Remnants begin to wither Slowly turning into dust Dispirit living to desperate voids Rain wails of liquidation Life span is ephemeral, short and fragile A brief passing moment in grand river of the Nile A vain, pointless era of deception and deceit Where loss is consolated with a promise of defeat Denouement of era spent beneath these lambent stars Under time's sabrewings late beauty lies rotten Washed away by tides, forgiven and forgotten Pictures tend to fade, memories decay What remains after Death will be taken away Sleep off the scorn, die away the shame Dwell present in comfort of end left to claim Beneath fondeling sun flesh begins to reek Stork carries a disease in it's break Certain ends dawning daily From reddened infected wombs Unscriptured faiths guide us blindly Cities invert to tombs Sad are only the Deaths that no-one laments for Mourners bring light to the fallen Remnants begin to wither Slowly turning into dust Gaze in admiration the sheer sweetness of her art Even Devil rests in black riuns of the heart Death - A promise of victory
