A Throne of Human Remains

As the verses are read
As the sign is carved
My hands feel the warm blood
Opening the passage
From life to death
From master to servant
A feast for the worms
A delight for my eyes
As the incense burns
And the chalice is raised
To honor the darkest spirits
Guides of my conscience
I hold my hands to my chest
And raise the hands
To the candelabrum
A throne of human remains
A scepter of blood
And a realm out of this world
