Somewhere in Coma Berenices
Formulas append themselves to fractured theory
Algid like intellect
And persistently intractable
Swirling in ancient silence
Phrases dart throughout
The interstellar medium
A vigintillion syllables
Cascade as incantations
The ebullient clouds of godforms
Puncturing reality, puncturing existence
Cortices bend and warp
Under immense strain
Proteins for inchoate larvae
Extruded like feces.

His steps are dogged by blight
Fearful eyes sinking into sockets
Limbs disjointed, hollow bone
Skin does drip from their fingertips
Boulevards buckle under the weight
Of austere yet cosmic indifference
Men and gods alike will know
Insolence, petulance
Horizons loom
Ominous and vast
His gaze is hounded by doom
And all herein will feel the swoon
No decay without dismay
No vocal cords to helplessly bray
Air and rot meld into one
Death throes under smirking Son

Reconstructing this genome
Malleable, culpable still
Reduced to cursory bits of data
“I am blinking wryly with the iris of lore!”
Detached from mine motherground
Soul breached as penance for sentience
Encapsulated, nay - insulated
Soaking the atoms with pain
Mine heart encased in meteor
Mine discontent a distant solar flare
Synthetic slumber o'er myriad eons
In thine revolving orb
Reconstituting their physiology
Perplexing astral drift
The earnest extraterrestrial acquisition
Spewing and spurting malaise
Through my rendition
Of the homo-automaton
Spewing and spurting
Detaching then hatching

Vaccinated with vengeance
In varying stages of decrepitude
Ruthlessly shearing herd after human herd
Through the membrane of the umbilicus
Through the membrane of the umbilicus
Past the illusion of maleficium
Past the illusion of maleficium
With antigen of cognizance
I tempt these monastic slugs
Their guilt reaches far, seeps low and clings deep
And still, it cleaves the reason from my thought
I deny
I object
I repulse
I repudiate
I recant
I divulge
I denounce
I, the ultra-luminous
I deny
I object
I repulse
I repudiate
I recant
I divulge
I denounce
I, the ultra-luminous

Ebon horns herald the onset
Of the third age of despair
Eldritch forms scorch mountainsides
With their dread stellar hooves
The firmament shudders
With all the madness
Of extrasolar conquest
Ia, ia!
Cthulhu fhtagn!
I can see through this fever dream
I can't see through this fever dream
I can see through this fever dream

I hate you with all the fire
Of nine thousand throbbing suns
I loathe you with all the fury
Of the vast, dense, dark expanse of space
I rain shards of moons upon you
Terran platitudes drowned out in a hail of
Plasma, acid, bile, and graphite
“These are the cold months
These are the solstices
Swelling with godlessness.”
Down!
Tendrils encircle the globe
Tendrils encircle the globe
Lacerate the astroamniotic sac
Leaking matter and fluids
Through the spiritual margins of existence
Behold!
Swarms of microorganisms
Cybernetic microorganisms
Descend!
In tandem with tentacle
In tandem with tentacle
Ethereal maws a million in number
Gnaw portals and cavities to distant planes of chaos
Mothers breastfeed apostate embryos
And goodwill is engulfed by delusion

The skies bulge
Swelling, peeling
As discs blot out all light
Momentum is halted
Armaments pivot and
Hurl their projectiles
In the direction of life
Celestials swarm over vast distances
Trails of mucus mark paths
Through the devastation
Drape the shawl of anxiety
Across the whole of
Pitiful Gaia
Envelope this sputtering biosphere
And immunize the boulder
With ancient genetic toxins
Phlegm upon scythe into tissue
Phlegm upon scythe into tissue
Phlegm upon scythe into tissue
Fire upon blade and into flesh
Suffuse this glorified asteroid
With lunacy
Oceans of fluid drip from the sky
The lubricant of unseen vessels
Hidden behind banks of grey exhaust
Lumbering, shuddering cloud shapes
Warped by the re-entry of said ships
Landmasses liquefy in wave after wave
Of unforgiving heat
