Black Lightning

The sky tore apart
Left nothing in it's wake
Time stuttered
forgot its place
Graves in fields
older than time
Hummed in keys
no human mouth
uttered in rhyme

They opened ancient books
named what they saw
The pages did not answer
They sat in silence
Words lying in shame
death dancing in the rain

Lightning cracked
hearts smashing thru the sky
severed from the dark
spilling its own lie
What you saw
was me remembering
Black lightning (welcome home)
The sky cracked
because I called it home
The only place I know

I was carved
from the grief
The dark beneath
keeping its own
the shadow has always
answered to me
Darkness blazing sight
pulled tight against the night
the silence was louder
than the light

The Veilscar marks
tore right through
heaven and hell
showing me whats true
destiny unwritten
do what you do
Time flashes thru me
ripping me in two
trying to pull it free
nothing left is true

Black lightning (welcome home)
What you saw was me remembering
Black lightning (welcome home)
The sky cracked
because I called it home
but home…
closed its door

Every moment that ever was,
still is…
The scream is happening
Even now
The veil is tearing
Even still
Welcome home!
Tear me free!

lightning cracked
and heaven called
the past tore past me
the present wont set me free
the future is unspoken
time Godammit! Quit Fucking with me!
I am
what Seralyth
could not name
Black lightning (welcome home)...
The end of days ...
Welcome home...

The sky is still tearing
Even now
Even still
Black lightning
Welcome home…
I’m here to stay…
