Better to rein in hell!

Better to rein in hellHeart in hand passed to the clasp of

Pain

In a dark lowland that set bad blood

In veins

Burning like penal fires roused to stain

The jagged-toothed skyline braced

With crossesThe golden dawn

Lay lost to mist where

Emboldened thorns

Made their bed with toppled stones

He closed His eyes

Sunken to dream there

Of crow-black skies

And a great white empty throne

Horror stalked the bilious fogs

That balked His vision

He licked the spittle from the cheeks

Of the way

And drifted back to when His stung

It's target

The sneer of Michael on a glorious

High

Of angel dust and Virtue by His Side

Drowning in the past

That downfall seemed like yesterday

Through blurred moons passed

As enemies in high places laughed

Moved to mirrors cracked with heavy

Lines

He rose snowblind through shifting

Sands of time

Erased the trace and taste of bitter

Wines

The grapes of wrath grew fat on the

VeinShe came to Him

A little whip of tantrums

Thrashed on velvet skins

That lined Her wishbone Henge

Her name was Sin

A warming spurt of mantras

Splashed on occult tongues

That whispered sweet revenge

For the shame of their crawl from

Grace

Cold and hollow as the grave

And for rape and a ruinous scourge

Spared for souls that had shared

God's worship

For now their throats coated notes

With dirge

That poured from parapets to the pits

Below

Drowning in the past

A wretched scream like yesterday

Died at last

With the rising of the revenant dark

All sharpened claws and blunt discharge

â€oeI shall bow no more to the dogs of

The Lord

Tearing at my carcass heart

I shall fall to my knees only at the

Keyholes

Of virtue slipping into bondage

Mask……

Freewill made me better to rein in

Hell”

And with new wings

Unfurled and spoken

He took to things

That would desecrate the world

The seduction of both woman and man

For bastard masterplan

Drowning out the past

Fool Fates unwound cruel yesterdays

Beneath the stars

That staggered from the blast
