1. OMEN

My name is the omen
My blood is the poison
My coming, a sign
Of reason inverted

My sign is upon you
Burnt under my iron
My voice, a signal
Your resistance abysmal

Scratch and crawl
At my final attempt
To tear at the fabric of your core
The uncomfortable silence
For you to drown
Eternal

My name is the omen
My beginning, the calling
Apocalypse forming
The fires approaching

My song is the prophecy
My word is the heresy
My coming, a sign
Return to the dust

Scratch and crawl
At my final attempt
To tear at the fabric of your core
The uncomfortable silence
For you to drown
Eternal

Woven by blind women
Beaded by slaves
My gown of abjection
Aghast in the wind
Adorned with the rubies
The blood of your children
Whisper my name
And I am called into being

Sanguine, I rise
To crush your pitiful delusions
Invoked by your ignorance
I coalesce from the darkness
Envenomated spirit
I possess this mortal form
Indomitable and indestructible
Painted crimson across the skies

My name is the omen
My opposition, godly
My arrival, signifier
Of Christ, the denier

I am the destroyer
Death is my calling
Drunk with the power
Of my final form

The omen comes
