Luyện nghe bài hát II (Penance)

That humiliating adjudicator
Your cruelty builds in an endless cycle of
slackens with each passing seconds
Flesh weakens and
Bones stiffen in
dissolve
Hopes
A blackened of deepest despair
A enfeebled and afraid
back upon a path of waste and regret
Gazes ahead only to t he and the empty

All will
All fail
All fall
All will

And so with heavy, broken-backed step I inch closer to my reckoning
stiff, sloughing, sagging
Resonating with decay like catgut strings
Draped a stave of rotting timber

The looms... Tearing, oppressive, stentorian
Cries once echoed in the of cold stone
cowled figures dripped with feverish piety
And candles of flickered in the torpid darkness of unanswered prayers

Stoic that bleeds black redemption
Onyx shed like skin
driven into the maw of the soil
Stygian that chokes on the carcasses of the forgotten

is no room here
Suffocation... Rejection...

A hopeless soul slithers in vapid


Fading notions of what once breathed false
shaped by the echoes of supplication
Myriad visages gaze in
A solemn stands as one
One singular of accusation
Choral, somnolent the marrow
Of a soul laced with corrosive

- Pathetic - Cringing
Crushed by
Withering within the inquisition
The last shreds of hope thus scatter

I cannot see what lurks within these sepulchral
Emanating of a thousand past condemnations

One thousand condemnations!

hands reach - coiling, cloying

My is but dust

And I flee
