Translucent feeble bones

Static breath… Blackened lungs… A halo hanging from a noose above the flood… I watched the saints dissolve into ash Their hymns rotting in my teeth Every prayer became a blade Every memory diseased ⸻ (Verse I) I buried God beneath my skin To feel the silence crawl within Nails through the nerves Wire through bone I built a throne from dying hope Mother wept in sulfur rain Father carved my cursed name Into the walls of vacant halls Where heaven’s echo choked and stalled I can hear the angels screaming Through the fractures in my sleep Their wings caught inside the furnace Where the faithful go to bleed ⸻ (Pre-Chorus) Peel away the human face Drain the mercy from my veins If salvation means submission Then let the abyss remain ⸻ (CHORUS) I TRANSCEND— THE WOUND OF EXISTENCE BECOME THE VIRUS INSIDE THE LIGHT I ASCEND— THROUGH CATHEDRAL COLLAPSE WATCHING THE SERAPHIM DIE No more flesh No more grieving No more fragile human need Only ruin Only hunger Only endless suffering TRANSCEND ⸻ (Verse II) The sky split open like a throat Spilling fire into the sea And every child of paradise Turned their eyes away from me I walked through fields of frozen crosses Hearing insects sing in tongues The dead were stitched into the soil Their mouths still praising what they’d lost My reflection now malformed Machine and marrow fused as one A carcass baptized in static Underneath a dying sun ⸻ (Breakdown) DISFIGURE ME UNTIL NOTHING PURE REMAINS ERASE THE NAME THEY GAVE ME I WANT TO FEEL THE LAST STAR SUFFOCATE I WANT HEAVEN TO WATCH ME CHANGE slow half-time Skin… falling… away… Soul… turning… grey… There is no throne above us Only an endless mouth OPEN ⸻ (Final Chorus) I TRANSCEND PAST THE FEAR OF DEATH PAST THE SOUND OF GOD WEEPING PAST THE MEMORY OF LOVE I BECOME THE SHADOW LEFT WHEN CREATION STOPS BREATHING ⸻ (Outro) And in the end… No angels came. Only the void… Calling my name Like a forgotten hymn From beyond the burning gates.
