The Prophecy of the Dying Sky: Oracle One
The Forger
Lying in the middle of the street
Under a cracked and empty sky
The heat pounds into my flesh while
The heartbroken clouds cast despondent shadows
Across my reddened skin
Scabs fall like rain, peeling off the broken sky
The sun streams through the cracks
Heats the pavement all around me and
I am burning now
Fire creeps up and circles around my body
My eyes stare determined at the rotten sky
The clouds all stop to look and
Weep for my burning flesh
Vilified ersatz
Love me do
This was supposed to last forever so
I burn, casting away past denials
I'll think of you while I die
The sky's veins are all showing
Coursing red across its graying skin
Torn to shreds, tatters floating dejected
The sky was ripped all apart and I focus
My eyes unwavering on its corpse
As I burn, lugubrious and alone
Terrified of night and day
I'll kill myself and lay to rest along my empty sky
We were so beautiful when we were together
