The Glory of the Gold

by Nick Gisburne





In the shimmer of his black, satanic seed
In the glimmer of each cold, immortal eye
In the cancer of his flesh
In his marrow, fat and fresh
Burns a misery his hunger cannot feed
And a longing that he knows will never die

In the shimmer of the black
See him crumble. See him crack

He was born to build a universe of lust
But he failed to fill the emptiness of space
When the wonder somehow broke
When his power turned to smoke
He was king of nothing, emperor of dust
Now he waits for someone else to take his place

He was born for life and lust
But his destiny is dust

She is coming. There is glory in her gold
Her malevolence is crooked to the core
She is infinitely thrilled
That her brother could not build
Something better, something bigger, something bold
From her body bursts the birth of something more

In the glory of her gold
She is bigger. She is bold.

There is darkness in her dreams
There is passion in her screams
There is everything her brother could not be
He could never build the sickness she can see.

In the blazing devastation of her mind
In the shadows of the starlight she creates
Stands a sister who will rise
Through the cracked and shattered skies
While her brother, forced to follow, falls behind
In the dirt of her destruction he is blind

Just a glimmer in the glory she designed
