Blackout
In complete darkness
Had no wish to go there
But life took me there regardless
Buzzards planned to make a handsome banquet of my carcass
Vanquish me then brandish me as frankly weak and guardless
Harnessed to a past
I glanced at thanklessly regardless of my anxious need to pass on charmless pageantry
When actually my heart still beat emphatically
Dramatically at ease
To be relieved of sight that made the night sky starless
.
The moon was rumoured harmless
And its tumours claimed benign
Contusions were solutions to be famed at later time
Optical illusions
Smoke and mirrors
Token shivers
With no greater than a slither of complaint for incubation time
My vacant eyes replaced sale signs with trail guides to the bay pines
Where the grape wine is divine and every rail line leads to great shrine
Granted the wait times were somewhat outrageous
But sure beat a lifetime confinement in stasis
.

Deviation
.
On that basis
I remained
Primed now for the final phase
Needed not the light of day
To seek and find my right of way
In my keep
Undying faith
That deep in underlying clay
Were creatures of the night denied the right to claim their rightful place
Seemed a crying shame to see them pained again
Thus made it plain
That they need never one time feel disgrace or hide their face in shame
Neither was it too late for inspiring my admiring gaze
(Divine)
(Divine)
(Divine)
Who was I to pass decree
To deem these bastards dastardly
And should such plea be asked of me
Then I would bleed dry arteries
Before adoring ceased of these disasterpieces
.

(Divine)
.
In complete darkness
Proceeded regardless
Appeasing each demon I freed of its harness
(Divine)
No reputation preceding or tarnished
Obscene fascination for beating the heartless
Greatly esteemed for my keen observation
Fate made the most unforeseen declaration
(Divine)
(Divine)
(Divine)
(Deviation)
.
Soon it would seem I would reach destination
Wake from this dream
Not a leaf of me shaken
Dive ocean deep in the sea of creation
Reprising a scene of divine deviation
Reprising a scene of divine deviation
Reprising a scene of divine deviation
Reprising a scene of divine deviation
