Burning I rise
To swallow the cross and summon
Tsunamis from my jungle lungs.

With a whim my Mongol breath
Turns water to gasoline-
Watch me drown

Igniting explosives
Setting fire to the skies,
Setting fire to the old

Outdated lives
Of those billion blind eyes
Addicted to box, the cave

Of colorful shadows
Cast in 1280p HD.
Hunt for light

Break free of all idolatries
Mistakenly claimed as your “I Am”
For truth declares

I Am We
We Are One
We burned to become

The brilliant Son baptized in liquor
Pools and sweat-soaked sheets,
Grasping for heaven

With acid tabs under our tongues,
Hands full of sin
And minds full of gold we could not see

But now we feel- Broken free
What vibrant bombast
We become

For We Are
The torrent and the dam

The dragon's throat and threat
Of song

The ox and oak
Apollo's match and muscle

We Are

The bronco hearts
The bloody knuckles

The eye of the hunt
And the grin of bullet teeth

Forged from ruckus and scythe
To become the terror of veils

Osiris at dawn
Roaring as we swarm

Reborn
