URIEL OF CONQUEST

I taught you how to live And now you're struggling to rot? You crawled on your knees in the dark Away from my blinding light You saw my vision in all white Speaking in your tongues But you fainted in your dreams And listened to the void whispering You cannot wait any faster By telling on yourself You object from the pews And came running back to the altar You're exhausted, too breathless to move The cracks and soil will do it for you Face the mountains, where you could have been But you lie with your eyes to the dirt Are the poppies not red enough For the scenes you're painting? Are they acting differently From your tragedy and comedy? Would you still love me indefinitely If I told you I was an angel by definition? I hold the scroll with seven seals And I wear the crown of thorns As my fire melts the wax A new revelation manifests Andulasions and delusions Tattered cloth from the wither The good and pretty are picked While the worst festers beneath I am generous with my carrion Remainders of who you once were I bathe in the haze and fog As you're encased in my silhouette For all things natural and otherworldly Of forbidden knowledge and pure wisdom Thou hast forsaken me in limbo Cast and banished to the plains
