Order From Chaos

As parasites we grovel – through the dust
A temple devoured – by the ancient fires
Autumn falls hard on restless flesh
Persistence buried in the sands of time

The grey man kissed the mud
Circular the ruins – in a dawn without birds
Crowned by the deities of death

Streets as cracks in the skin
To drink from the night itself
Webs of perdition – crush the rushing earth
The aching void lures – promising rebirth

Order from chaos – every thought a tool
Order from chaos – profaned by the burned and the dead
