Awake Revamped

Awake!!!
the sky is set aflame
and all that was once of god

Will rise and fall with the sun

Within this barren state
we break the branches of willows

Striking ourselves in disobedience
Then pilling our flagellants

To build funeral pyres for the damned.

I saw a message in the clouds

Spelling out something subtle

Both esoteric as well as sacred it read to me as:

AWAKE!
My angles have abandoned me

And my demons never cared

They were figments in my head after all

They were never really there.

what’s a man to his soul?
and what being might i be
that i might be sold?
Awake...
the time has come
to reclaim
the heavens
and earth...
And yet that word still rings strong in my ears
AWAKE!
I saw it in a strangers eyes
Awake...
I heard it in between his words
AWAKE!
I’ve yelled out on the corner of streets
I’ve screamed out to the waters of silence
and yet no one breaks quiet.
(Awake)
