And time stopped And time uncloaked Gates unlocked Guns unloaded Windows shattered Crimson-splattered Departure stopped Arrival rots Triangular fill Life is nil Descending still Time is still And time stopped And time stopped again Sleeping close to death I am staring through the tunnel Calm and at ease with that which kills me His hands let go of my soul Take what is needed for the pain Mental anguish and autumn showers My skin crawls soft, my eyes hold dim The Pharaoh�s arrow strikes below my chin Staring into time I go to laugh, but cry Emotion runs tenfold, but shallow My words spoken lightly seem empty and hollow Falling back to the earth I am sucked into the vortex of afterbirth White compressed hell- encompassing shell My heart beats slowly and soon it ends
