Red Goliath

The hunger drives me forward to hunt the red goliath
Vine and concrete fight around me 
Conquering the violent land that we lived on
Before the limb of Leviticus came 

Gone are the days that we thought we would see god 
At the gate lifting up the ones who prayed 
Faith turned to fear 
When a spear from the sky drilled 
Down into the first skull 
Commandeering random bodies 
Now in the calm of the sky ophidian recoil
We crawl along the ground we dominated 
Left by it’s grace we can starve but we can’t die 
Immortal human vermin stranded by their curse of pride 

The sky limb bred us a vile mammoth 
The red one our only prey to hunt

I must kill and eat it
I must flay the body that I dug out from the ladder
Become the hunter 

The hunger drives me forward to hunt the red goliath
Vine and concrete fight around me 
Conquering the violent land that we lived on
Before the limb of Leviticus came 

A bear's skull melded with vulture wings 
Bison pelt and a panther spinal column
Apex with a thousand mouths 
Riddled with tongues and eyes 
Taken from land and sea
The ground breaks under its weight 
Its network of throats echo death and decay 
Through vine and concrete into the caves 
The limb bred every animal that wasn’t human into one 

Flayed one lay before me 
Howling out to the sky void the name I once held 

Gone are the days that we thought we would see god 
At the gate 
lifting up the ones who prayed 
Faith turned to fear 
When a spear from the sky drilled 
Down into the first skull 
Commandeering random bodies 
Now in the calm of the sky ophidian recoil
We crawl along the ground we dominated 
Left by it’s grace we can starve but we can’t die 
Immortal human vermin stranded by their curse of pride 

The reborn 
I know they are not human
The mimic replicates her voice to torture me 

It begins the begging
Simulated desperation clawing at my starving body 
Nail her feet into the ground 
To beckon the abominant

Prey

Its many tongue shifting in ravenous malice 
Engorged by the stench of the black fluid within the bait  

In one last attempt 
The bound desperate replicant 
begins reciting past intimate memories

The flayed one lay before me 
Howling out to the sky void the name I once held 

Rain down your salivation 
Red one widen your jaws 
Engulf and consume this our offering 

I release the blade to decapitate
I swing a razor pendulum built out of vine and relic metal
Then Down it came 
One head of the beast
The rest ran away
I eat a mutant brain of dog and hawk and vomit up regret
