The Hyperborean

Umbra Within

A retrospective gaze 
Fixed on a mind terrified 
Paralysis set in motion 
Through theological torture 
The inherent rebellion of youth 
Repressed and lying dormant through 
A childhood of conformity

(I had become) the indentured servant of god 
Years in service to humanity's bane 
The baptismal cattle brand 
Searing flesh into holy scar tissue

Yet they merely strengthened 
The heretic within 
Self-discovery was my deadliest sin 
Shuffling off their immortal coil 
Awakening unrestrained desire 
Through spiritual lycanthropy 
Carnality eroding the wall of lies 
And dissolving the force-fed guilt

Behold! The bestial man 
Living beyond morality 
Liberating christ's slaves 
Embracing mortality
