The Devouring Serpent

by Shaun Lawton (lyrics for Wrathspawn)



             art by Drew Roulette



 Far beneath the cutting prow
darkness unfurls kept at bay
above the wretched surface howls
 a storm protects the day

 the wind laughs above
a whiplash cracks eyes open
fingers clutch the occipital 
 clouds darken the mind 

 as pressures shift and flex
swum up quickly from the depths
Leviathan awakens next
 blinking open wide for us

 Stacked and interlocked
plugged in connections
signals mostly block
 revelations for inspection

 Electromagnetic skies
turn our heads and bend the mind
connecting pulses up the spine
 welcome the dragon divine
