Crystal clear the water
deep in the mind's eye
Racing toward the Diamond Sea
to drown the saboteur in flight

The mountain top inferno
feeds the flicker to a flame
Fan the fire with the heart
til God starts naming names

Inhibition understated
must take a final bow
When blood strikes hard
the chord that makes
the silence sing out loud

Company is coming
but only for a moment
When the paraclete will stand aside
and in silence stand instead

Reasons are excuses
to those coming in the going
for they have no jurisdiction
in the crimson tide now flowing

Recompense is futile
for unapologetic souls
they never saw the sun turn black
or the scissors find the fold

Justified, the pure in heart
are pausing for the morning
The eastern sky is laboring
Just before the knowing

Death knell retrospective
must come out from the shadows
while the clenching fist that drew first blood
waxes liquid into tallow

Company is coming
but only for a moment
The paraclete will stand aside
muted from his groanings

Minions will recuse themselves
from those coming in the going
there will be no resistance
to the crimson tide now flowing
