Near golden sunsets

I’ve consecrated my life
To the construction and destruction
Of this unhealthy union
As the self-amputated members
Begin to discover their errors
The sun sets black on a darker sky
No fiery impulse coming from the colder climates
Seeks to renew this burning blood
I stole this body, this head, these arms
That I use to murder them in their beds
Beds of scarlet hyacinth burning blood
As they move closer and closer still
To their grave, grave doubts befall them
They deny it, but deserve it not,
This indoctrinated drama of burning blood
I will not equivocate, I will not excuse
I will not flee to the North Star
I will be heard
The divorce of greatness, the incompatible tempers
Befalls me, follows me
All night, all night forever
