Odem - Dark Fortress

I surround you

You cannot see or touch me

Yet I drown you

A tidal pest invades

I have found you

Insipid prey to wanton storm

I’ll hound you

You can’t escape, the snare is laid

Demise engenders

Sleeps inside your veins

That sigh in splendor

And tremble in disgust

Sheer and tender

Your naked vessels all apace

Surrender to my amniotic lust’s embrace

I howl through you

Drink deeply as you breathe me in

I prowl through you

Devour you from within

I am the wind that swallows you

The chafing hurt that hollows you

The blind decay that follows you

Until you are over

Blasting flesh to fog

Gales are harrying

Aghast visages torn to carrion

I entomb you

My venom sheathes and flays

I consume you

The very air you breathe turns to razorblades

I’m inside you

Your every heave inflames

The spell that tied you

To horrors that beget

The plagues that despise you

With every pulse your heart’s

Hell defies you

Tghtens the torniquet

I howl through you

Drink deeply as you breathe me in

I prowl through you

Devour you from within

I am the wind that swallows you

The chafing hurt that hollows you

The blind decay that follows you

Until you are over

And I begin

The seven corners of the world

Cannot hide you from me

When your I is dead my You will become Me

And once I’ve scraped the last layer of delusion

From the hallowed blaze

Buried below that feeble carcer you called life

This illusion rends and reveals

The truth this downfall shall destroy

I howl through you

Drink deeply as you breathe me in

I prowl through you

Devour you from within

I am the wind that swallows you

The chafing hurt that hollows you

The blind decay that follows you

Until you are over

And I begin
