A Toil Beneath the Skin

Pulsating walls of veins, a chamber made of flesh
A blood stained living altar of death and wickedness
A shapeless, nameless terror. Voiceless whispers feed the
Inner error as crawling waters

A ghastly silence – a grinding noise
Am I alone here? Is this my voice?

Cloaking herds of vermin – stone cold faces
Underneath the surface: jet black wastelands
Stirring in the dark; a toil beneath the skin
Freezing, cold with poison; a coil of hungry snakes

The Devil clearly mirrored right before me
Eyes, just like my own two, see right through me

A ghastly silence – no life to find
Am I alone here, in my mind?

The foul enigma solved, no logic to be found
A whirling chaos only, whirling and profound
