Metal Coliaths Monolithic Intent, Bend back the Soul that had been unbent. Cold Stelae
Waves of stone in glades unpared
Come crashing down
Coming for you
Immense movement, vicious digging, rectangular knees into the ground
Cascades of cement crush your skull into dirty wet paste
Beneath the stone forest, you develop a taste
in your mouth of metal fear, agony shot back from the future
To prick your heart and warn you of the inevitable
Shadows slant shadows on hungry dark corners
Shamble through lines, on your knees, panged mourner
Twinkles of tuxedo fire off in the distance
Bring your ear to the ground — cold foggy silence — existence
Screams of boulders raining down, an avalanche hanging in bronzed air
Red drops plummeting from the moon to your hair
The sky is a shriek, cold cement at your feet
Lying prone, face to face, see the moss reaching out
The shudder of dead stone forths heavy icicles through your nerves
down your veins
goosebumps up
freeze your brains
Air suspended in air, a heavy bated breath
That forever holds itself, fumbles of constricting cleft
The coldness and the stoneness and the staticness in time
Will forever not move forward with your joyful, saintly rhyme
Metal cocoon collapse you in a space of paradigm
The shattered lights about you are a backwards-piercing sign
Metal Coliaths Monolithic Intent, Bend back the Soul that had been unbent
