PRAYER OF A FALSE GOD

- Christoper Pike -

All are doomed to burn

Love feeds the flames

Days of endless pains

and the smoke takes each in turn.

All are doomed to rust

Time destroys our lives

Nights cut out like knives

And the wind carries away the dust.

All are doomed to love

All are doomed to die

Tonight bring the black tomb

for even the most high.

Even those in this room

cannot pretend to fly

And I know

Even YOU

Even I

must die...
