Living Altar

Writhing
Trembling
Moaning
Breathing
Waking
Dreaming
Willing
Bleeding
Living Altar

Pillars of reason crumble to dust
Temples to logic burn
Mausoleums, impotent to fetter the violence of our nature
Shattered prisons, ruins, reclaimed by the essence of the wilderness
Monuments to patriarchal control
Schizophrenic despair, awakened in the heath top moonlight

In her presence reason falters
Kneel before her, living altar
The visceral overcomes the rational
The lunar eclipses the solar
As blood begins to flow down the living altar

Dismal ritual
In a hostile temple
Blackened ministry of the nocturnal sisterhood
Chaos stirs within our veins
And over reason chaos reigns

Writhing
Trembling
Moaning
Breathing
Waking
Dreaming
Willing
Bleeding

In her presence reason falters
Kneel before her, living altar
The visceral overcomes the rational
The lunar eclipses the solar
As blood begins to flow down the living altar
