Dark Phoenix

Ax.Barajas 1980 (Illinois)



              Through angel's eye
               Devil wasps.
               Crimson tides.
               Darkest nights.

               Hearing angel's cry.
               Runs a cold sweat
               down your spine.

              Your deepest thoughts.
               Subconscious mind
               Intertwine.
              There you shall find.
              The things you hide.

              An entity within.
              Knows no fear.
              Knows no limit.
              Has no quarrel.

              That ignites, consumes.
              Buried beneath your
              bones.
             
             Gravity has no boundaries.
             Now sleep as I chant your  
             praise.
   
               Ashes to ashes.
               Dust to dust.
               Light to dark.
               From beginning to
               end.

              Open your eyes and be
              reborn. Fly upon silver
              clouds.
              Where nightmares run
              and hide. When they
              sense your presence.

              Feel the wrath of the
              Dark Phoenix. Tap, tap
              at your door.


                                        -X.barajas
