Mouth Of Scorpions

by Deadspace

/
1.
“I will remain always, in this cruel haze of light and blood. And I am sorry that I have to speak - to let these words fall away from the wounds in me. Hah... well... wounds? No. Just mirrors, I think. Reflections in cooling blood. Silhouettes of the pains I have borne upon others; those whose souls I have cast upon my own. Those souls that steal the sleep from me..." And so I must bear to you a heart of stone, and remain always in my own cruel haze of light and blood.” In despair, heads have bowed to broken bone With septic arms to choke the sun Dragging blunted blades across never healing sores Hush now, young child, close your eyes and swallow the locusts To mar the shaking hand and turn the heart to stone Bare this heart of stone, Lay still in this bondage, forever… Bare this heart of stone, Lay still in despondence, forever…
2.
Destined for depths deeper, darker than thoughts Tongues of black flame lick wounds to wrought Pray for acid rain Pray for death And I will wait for desolation Feral contagion Famine to sweep us from repose Spit venom atop the harvest And cursed the one the sun dissolves Dissolve the wasted tears of the world A world in destitution In mourning, hatred, aching, The heartache, ruin, bloodshed To rape the feeble thought there’s hope in her weeping
3.
No empathy will grace the wounded souls No love shall fall from cracked maws With teeth to lacerate Auspicious groaning sores Time heals, no scars No light will penetrate To fuck the shimmer from her eyes Und ins her final place Her weeping shadow, in which to copulate, Such fucking waste of life, oozing, diluting light Ejaculate the agony Her blood, everywhere in this fucking room Deprived of any affection, just filthy infections Hopeless bloody weeping Lifeless bottom feeding Bound by sufferance

about

‘Scorpions could even feel at home in a post nuclear wasteland
They are continuing victors in the evolutionary arms race
As their prey has evolved defences, they have evolved better weapons of attack’

Mouth Of Scorpions is a pointed, stark and cold observation of humanity’s place in the world. An endeavour to separate perpetuating internal emotion and the complex reality of the physical world. Heavily inspired by scientific, social, political, theological, philosophical and environmental theories, Mouth Of Scorpions becomes a self invitation to leave behind introverted dwelling and open ones eyes to a bigger canvas.

We are all born killers. The question is, have we evolved or devolved? You tell us.
