blaspheme messiah

dogs gather at the scent of your blood
weeping and bleeding, you look to the sky

is it so hard to see? the sky holds only emptiness
weak and confused, you look to the sea

seething at the ignorance, the sea strikes out
wet and dazed, you fall to the ground

wisely, the earth lies silently
lost, you cry

i smell the blood, air, salt, and earth
as i fall far below my birth
eyes closed and looking on
you see only light

afraid in the dirt, the earth consumes
you drown in the emptiness, drowning in the emptiness

it is the light of fire that illuminates
burning, slowly guiding, you watch

like the sun, the light is still
you reach out as you fall

energy emanates from every direction
you drag the flame as you fall

you smell the stench of burning flesh
as i've burned below you
eyes closed and grabbing tightly
you see only light

jesus, you have never looked so beautiful (4x)
