In this sanctum I am numb
A cold understanding, beneath the pillared gates of eternity
As I bleed through red velvet permeations
The night surrenders it’s duality unto thee
And everything glows crimson in a sea of nothing

My state of play, my mind away
A perpetual refrain, of disarray
And seldom do I, let it all be done
But I watched the echoes of the afterlife come undone
As the sum counts down to one
