The Demon Eater

Alexis Child

 

Impure outlines exorcised 

On wounds uncleansed

Shift cloak of sin off shoulders

Lustful angels fall like flies

Around the stems of sacrifice

Darkness beyond the grave

Mingles in licentious dance

Encompassed with wild hymns

Demonic infection glows pure fire

Driven into distant lands

He is not the last priest

To sully bright truths 

Of the many-voiced monster

Distressed heir of hell

Seeking rest but finding none

Returning to whom it came from
