Serfitude

I feel a hunger worse than all who came before
My soul irreverent, disgraced in awe

The beast, fed me
Sweet trickle, bound destiny

Forever-oath, sworn alas
Unwilling serf

I will not serve you
Your gifts I refuse

Mother,
I will not falter
O Father,
Where have you gone?
Dear Mother,
Show me mercy
Wicked Father,
Forget me not

It takes control of me, this sense that cannot be
Hollowing empathy grows within me

Consumed by hunger, worse than all who came before
This time it’s self-afflicted, oh sweet reward

I hunt, stalk, feed
Revel in infamy

Accepted self, free at last
Eternally

I will now serve you
Your gifts I will use

Mother,
I have not faltered
O Father,
Why did you go?
Dear Mother,
Grant me mercy
Wicked Father,
Forgave you not

You gave me the curse
Blessed to wear it upon my flesh
Now I'll live on in infamy
Unhallowed by your name


Mother,
I will not falter
O Father,
Where have you gone?

Dear Mother,
Show me mercy
Wicked Father,
Forget me not
Sweet Mother,
Grant me your mercy
Wicked Father,
Forgave you not
