emperor of the void

i am the king

of the great islands of grey

windswept and scatted

bent and confused

my castle is my ruin

the mouldering grave

where the memory fades along with the mourning cry of the mother

who counts the wounds

who sees the hunger

the flight of denial

the fibres the nerves

the raptures and bursts

from arteric to cell

continuously repeating

the hymn of life and death

and the wholy whore

desecrated in desperation

i am the king. the ruler of the grey islands

i'm the emperor of the void

i am grey. the weakened ruler of these islands. i'm the emperor of the void

i stand before destruction

touching the stone of my realm

so dignified.unmerciful

without empathy

you saw my birth

an ornament in your grain

you see my death

terrible and divine
