A vulturous dead breath
Black statement
Weeps for what's wrong
The riddled corpse
At the gate's given up
In the space to cross
A morgue between two cities
Veils annihilating days
Pernicious holocaust of love
Saint of impossible causes
Anima's forsaken reason
Why is there silence?
The guillotine whispers
Let this death be complete
