Rapture.
Look forward to a world,
Devoid of all but us sinners,
Trying to be better.
Eyes up,
Heart forwards.
I’m no hero.
Told you –
The heroes are all dead.
Only us villains,
Left to work overtime.
But hell,
We’ve gotta save something,
Right?
Watch me burn,
Like the monks.
Manic grin,
Sharp teeth.
Playing god,
Do what you’re good at.
Dissecting systems and people,
The worst of them,
Hellbent on a better world,
For the common folk.
Martyr,
Like a six shooter –
Trigger pull by trigger pull,
Rotating the cylinders,
Like the hydraulics I know.
I am flesh,
And bone.
Not yet perfect,
Not yet complete.
But I have wits,
& witchcraft,
Science,
& sin.
Paint me as a demon,
Horns and all.
Go ahead.
I’ll be a scapegoat,
For all your crimes.
I won’t take insult,
Lying down.
But,
I’ll always go down swinging.
Godkiller’s Oath.
Godkiller’s Oath.
