I from Hole by Worn Mantle

THE WAY IS OPEN
A GREAT PATH HEWN THROUGH THE GROUND
A WOUND WROUGHT OUT
BY AN ENGINE OF BLIND EXERTION
DRUNKENLY BLUNTING THE BLADE
CUTTING DOWN INTO THE EARTH
SPILLING BURIED VENOM
TORN FROM ITS HEART
DRAWN THROUGH THE TEAR
POISON STAINING THE EDGE OF THE KNIFE
SIPHONED INTO THE ARTERIES OF INVERTED MINES
PURIFIED INTO SCREAMING LIGHT
CONSUMED IN BLINDING NOISE
FUEL FOR THE TERMINAL METASTASIS
OF EMPTY EXPANSES OF SPACE
DENYING THE LIFE OF DECAY
DAMMING THE WATERS OF TIME
UPON FIELDS OF STERILE FERTILITY
AN IMMANENT BRUTAL REMEMBRANCE
SHROUDED IN A CHOKING PALL
A BREATHING ABORTION
BIRTHED FROM THE FURNACES
OF INDUSTRY AND PROGRESS
THE ENDLESS HARVEST OF THE AUGER
OUR INHERITANCE IS AN OCEAN OF WASTE
AND HEREDITARY DISEASE
CAST IN THE VERY MOLDS OF OUR FLESH
WITHERED TO THE WICK
CHAINED TO THE STONE OF THIS WORLD
AS IT'S DRAGGED DOWN
INTO IMMORTAL
UNFORGIVEABLE
AND IRREVOCABLE RUINATION
FOR GENERATIONAL DEGRADATION
AND RANSOMED HUMANITY
FOR DENIAL AND AMNESIA
TO MASK OUR MUTILATIONS
NUMBED AND INTOXICATED
BY CHAUVINIST HATRED
HOLLOWED BEYOND HEALING
ENTHRALLED TO RELIGIONS
OF INCOMPREHENSIBLE IMBECILITY
THEIR SHRINES FULL OF VIOLENCE
CANCEROUS AND BANAL
WHAT WAS ONCE A HORIZON
IS NOW A BREAKING WHEEL
TURNING WITH THE GRACE OF A TIDE
AS IMPLACABLE AS THE GAZE OF A SERPENT
EYES OF NIGHT
BORNE THROUGH ITS INFINITE CIRCLES
SLOUGHING ITS SKIN
LEFT IN ITS WAKE
LOST
WE HAVE ABANDONED SOTERIOLOGIES
SOUGHT OUT IN DESPERATION
THEIR MYTHIC HALCYONS
ENDS OF DAYS AND ETERNAL HEREAFTERS
IN AN AGE OF MASS DESTRUCTION
AND EXTINCTION
WE CURSE THE PLAGUE OF SECTARIANISM
AND THE WARS OF FASCISTS AND FOOLS
FROM THE VERY FUCKING DEPTHS
OF OUR SOULS
MAY THEIR THRONES CRACK
AND THEIR BACKS BREAK
MAY THEY SUCCUMB
TO THE DELIRIUM OF NEGATION
MAY THEY BE MADE
NAKED WALKING CORPSES
MAY THEIR LIVES END
MAY THEY BE FORGOTTEN

MAY THE BLOOD OF THE EARTH BE DUST UPON YOUR TONGUE
