Lethargica
Tomas Haake
The void clenches its determined jaws
A lethargic, careless motion to kill
Monstrous, prodigous, indifferent
Slow and deliberate its torturous skills
Its molars grind and shatter
Onerous, leaden bringers of hurt
Unhurried in its deadly intent
The undoer of all - dense and inert
Its design perfected through aeons
Pure, immaculate, clean, omnicidal god/machine
Calm, precise ambition
Untroubled by the roar of unending screams,
The droning blare of absolute doom
- The downpitched moan of collapsing dreams
Composed, cold, unconditional
Uncompromising til all is death
Extinction, ruin - its malicious cause
Til the last exhalation of human breath
