The color of blood and silver.

And I saw a man in the darkness,
On a throne of ivory words,
Over granite earth,
Naked hands gloved in flame
And his eyes burned.
His face no longer masked with flesh
But released from its cage,
Like a soul from its shell.
No longer bound in blood,
But released from his shackles.

And he stood and looked in me,
And my frozen eyes glowed,
And my skin burned away,
And I beheld the truth,
And returned to my place
On the throne of ivory words.
Over granite earth.
