Absolution In Black
by Lloyd M Lohr

remnant echoes of the revolt,
still sting the obsidian skin of the fallen,
caustic soulfire,
corrupted frail mortality,
angel malice burn,
the selfishness of oblivion,
the cold ember of death,
lingering in the heart of the sacrament,

blood soaked, primordial earth,
serpent crown of shadows haunting,
obsession of the few,
an addiction to many,
pride in the name of ego.
