IV, B: Perseus, Pyrrhic

[K]
So the fingers point back
The reciprocal is infinite
This is what I have become
The armageddon

[M]
Write my poems in your skin
Tear them out then start again
Countless tries to be renewed
Venom’s kiss your fate imbued

[K]
Punch the number
Pull the trigger
The gavel and the axe will descend
Tear the leather
From my fingers
A mask for crimes I cannot defend
I am the devil’s tools
I am the devil’s house
Begin the end
Dismantle/disassemble
I have seen what I am
There is nothing I resemble

[M]
Would you play the hero’s role?
Turn the sword and pierce your soul
I am not the source of sin
Seeds of hell sprout up within

[P]
Sacred and profane out of the same mouth
Bitter water flowing from a sweet spring
Demons occupying this empty house
Blasphemy and blessing intertwining

[S]
Gorge and purge
Binge and starve
Devour the other
Deride the beast
Gorge and purge
Binge and starve
Return to vomit
Renew the feast
To me...to me...open shame
To Thee...to Thee...mercy...
Lord, open my eyes
I want to see You
Lord, tear out my eyes
And take them with You
