Kissing Earth, I taste afterbirth
Their machinations are coming
I see the future before me
My imagination's running

Now who remains to tell me anything?

Can you hear the lightning crying?
Do you taste the stream of magma?
Fingertips remain rough and scorched
Stigmatas just feel like Karma

I recall a time when the birds would sing

Hanging here, I remember you
I see your patrons in the crowd
Father, why did you forsake me?
Their spears scream that I am too loud

The crown they gave me feels like it's burning
