Pyre

By Graveyard_Desciple

aphotic calamity
everything falls down on me
can't seem to get out of the way
and now I am only decay

acertain every motive
when you take and never give
I never had a chance to live
and now my soul becomes putrid

Rot!!

construct the pyre
throw me into the fire
construct the pyre
your death my new desire

have hematic sympathy
for you, love means to degrade
you are the target of my hate
and soon you'll be the one decayed

I am ready to fight back
I am ready to attack
you'll see my rage is intact
they say the bitch is the payback

Rot!!construct the pyre
throw me into the fire
construct the pyre
your death my new desire

can you remember
when everything was as it should be?
when times were peaceful
and you did not defamate me?
those times are gone now
and now I live to see your blood spill
your time ticks away
and I'm not feeling mercyful

I am the pyre
I am the fucking fire
I am the pyre
I've fulfilled my desire
I am the pyre
I am the fucking fire
I am the pyre
I've fulfilled my desire

    this is amazing. a beautiful vengance to the common usage of words. you twist them and transform them to your will. not many poets have this quality. well done. :)

  • A former member wrote: The one thing that gets to me about this poem is that the writing just reminds me of Victor Hugo. And you know how it is, one great writer either humiliates or sympathizes the ones afterwards. Anyways. Incredible that you remind me of such a humble person

  • A former member wrote: fight!! This is heart warming bullet in your face lyrics, I wish I could remember as far back as you ask in that penultimate stanza, but then I love the refrain and the end is thrashin metalishous
