A Dream of the Empty

I had a dream once; in this dream, I died. My body stopped, and from it I emerged.

Call of Immanuel

Do not fear, my shepherds dear We haven't come in wrath In land nearby, the time is nigh The Savior shall draw his first breath See the boy, and fill with joy For he is the Son of God Travel far to yonder star Witness and be awed!

Abandoned Earth

The skies are aflame Bathing the Earth in dusk See it burn, see it burn The virtuous have left And taken virtue with them They won’t burn, they won’t burn The Serpent has the entire world Trapped within its toxic coils strong Watch the men succumb to biting flies Their pain a millennium long See … Continue reading Abandoned Earth →
