The Prophecy Machine

by Nick Gisburne



Enter this, the prophecy machine
Slide beneath the sickness and the scum
Liberate the nightmares you have seen
Find the face of what you will become
Power, from perversion, is your right
See the fate, the future, you must rule
Swim among the sacraments of night
Taste the poisoned pleasures of the pool
Somehow you contaminate this place
This was not a scene we ever saw
You are devastation, death, disgrace
Spare us. Save us. Let us show you more
    Is this how the universe must crack?
    All we see, infinity, is black
