He fell from the blackened sky
Cut Heaven’s proof from his skin
Armed the last stop in the sand
Guarded the life held within
One bore the blade of command
One held tomorrow in hand
Heaven’s heretic, halo undone
He stood with the damned for a life just begun
If love was rebellion, he welcomed the fall
For faith without mercy means nothing at all
Black flies turned daylight to night
A war-horn announced the first breath
The horde shrank away from the light
One keepsake burned shelter to death
One bore the blade of command
One held tomorrow in hand
Heaven’s heretic, halo undone
He stood with the damned for a life just begun
If love was rebellion, he welcomed the fall
For faith without mercy means nothing at all
Rare steak. New teeth. Ceiling crawl.
Split jaw. Long limbs. Ice-cream call.
Head-down. Acid. One more fall.
Child’s teeth. Throat torn. Horde at the wall.
Heaven’s heretic, halo undone
He stood with the damned for a life just begun
If love was rebellion, he welcomed the fall
For faith without mercy means nothing at all
