Black Garden - The Revenant Chronicles, pt I

+ Show full styles

Red tag on my toe, code fuckin red, Flatline logs say, “soldier dead.” Venom in me never left, Now I wake where bodies bled. Same op drop, venom host! Blackfall sent me, ghost to ghost! Clean sweep job; no witnesses! Now I’m lab meat; cut... disposed! Med tag reads: “unstable brain,” Ash in blood, corrupted veins. They call this shit “progress made,” I call this a breathing grave. Jaw wired tight, can’t speak straight, Name on file; but it won’t stay. Wife and kid; faces fade, Every blink: they slip away. Skin don’t feel; nerves misfire, Pulse kicks back; feeds the fire. Every death, rewires higher, Something else is climbing inside me. I ain’t dead; I feel it crawl, Something movin’ through it all, Every death they fuckin’ cause, Opens doors beyond my walls… Price of power! Drag me back, break me whole! Lazarus Protocol! Dead nerves scream, but I don’t fold! Deadman walking! Black Garden built this ghost! Kill me twice... I learn the most! Hallways lined with test remains, Bear-trap floors, wired frames. Saw rigs hum, prayers in pain, Every room repeats my name. I crawl past what I became, Dead men twitch when I exhale flame. Not control, just signal bleed, Like my pulse infects the same. One arm moves, three more rise, Lag behind like broken time. Puppet sync but out of line, One mind split, through three designs. Wife appears in sterile light, Reach to touch, she glitches white. Kid says “Dad”, then cuts to night, Every death kills what I fight. Synapse snaps... memory slips, Every fall... I fuckin’ drift, If I lose what I exist... What the fuck am I then... Hold up... Look at that... Record the feed... Activate the overhead... Subject Zero won’t stay dead, Venom strain made him perfect when it spread. Every test refines what he’ll become, My men get crushed under a ton... Damn, this shit is fun... Death’s not failure, it’s filtered by design! Strip the weak, leave the ones that realign. Every corpse is a doorway left ajar, He’s not breaking...he’s becoming aware. He remembers enough to feel the loss, Pain’s the fucking leash... Chains that make him cross... Let him crawl... Let him learn... Let him evolve... Black Garden doesn’t fail, Blackfall fuckin solves. Deadman... You... are... FUCKING MINE! I was that soldier they sent when the Venom took hold, Now I’m Black Garden’s result, revived out of the cold. Every incision’s a lesson...I adapt and reload! Every kill-switch they hit just expands what I know. I drag through the halls, Half gone...Half aware... Dead in the room start to move, I don’t know how or where. Three bodies rise when I flinch, They lag out of sync... Not the leader, Just static that spreads when I think. I try to recall my wife... my kid... but it decays, Each time that I die... What I love gets erased! Black Garden built me by breakin’ me down, I know you can hear me; you will pay, Every death made me something, YOU CAN'T PUT AWAY... Price of power! Drag me back, I take control! Lazarus protocol! Dead nerves scream; I've lost my soul! Deadman walking! Black Garden fed this ghost! Kill me twice... I'll kill the most! Steel doors crack; night wind hits, Cold so sharp, it splits my ribs. Snow and ash, in a silent mix... No more labs... Just wilderness...
