Thirteen chapters of the end of the world

The signs of the times and endless news of war

Hold us captive because the crowds are

Excited, the thrill of forbidden

Entertainment amuses the masses

Not attending the masses

Death and doom promise and loom

Intricate detail in and attention to

Slippery lies and attractive falsehoods

Continues to enchant the multitudes while

Occult worlds of tradition are mourning

Marks of what is promised to come

Intimate creation in the heat of passion knows

Nothing of the secrets of a

Universe where life is

Destroyed as we are eternally broken

Lost hopeless and waiting

Only for this forsaken

World where promise is all but.
