Burial by Fire

Burial by fire in red massacre morning, these long roads became a tarmac of flames
Eve’s desperation for the divine, I saw you in that sacred darkness
The defiance! of the rising phoenix! resurrected from fire remains!
Days like ancient cathedrals, I vanished into the sanctum of Desire

Burial by fire: you disappeared as a dream before slaughter sunrise
In the void of hours, Desire the berserker enslaves fragile Beings
My body on the moonlight rope— of the neon gods on billboards in the evenings—

Forget the grace of Arcadia, you are the only Heaven I know before cold morning
Give me oblivion from this misery, severance from Desire the sleepless demon
Striked me in the midnights like wings of lightning! Voltage flowers blooming on my chest
BURIAL BY FIRE — FIRE IN MY FLESH — THIS IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE (to be buried in your light)
THE MIRACLES: I ARRIVE IN YOUR ARMS, YOU SALVAGE ME FROM THE WASTELANDS
CYCLES OF THE ABYSS, FORGET THE GRACE OF ARCADIA, LET ME BE YOUR FALLEN ANGEL
DESIRE SCYTHE OF ELYSIUM THE MIRACLES WILL KILL ME AND I SEEK THEM ANYWAY
BURIAL BY FIRE — FIRE IN MY FLESH — THIS IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE (to be buried in your light)
As a babe born in blood if it screams it lives and I screamed and I witnessed
Stars hanging in dark altars, somnambulant shadows seeking evening meals
Black belladonna growing like a malignant cancer on dark roadsides

Call me nightshade Eve in the burning eventide amidst flames of the fallen
Daughter of the Deluge, like Eve, I surrendered to Desire for you
Ravine of years! Cursed with hunger, I was buried by my ways of survival
The vanquished of Desire arise again like Lazarus lightning in the night
Burial by fire, I waited for eternities: when you arrived, you arrived with the light
