The Lamb has the Venom of a Snake

This is me...
All pale beliefs,
Just dirty hands
And bloody feet.
Here is Time,
Indefinite infinity,
My human god
And enemy.

A poison lamb
And lion,
We are David
And Goliath.

Standing among my dead opponents
In the world I loved too much for peace,
I shake human dust from weathered soles
And promise Philistine victory.

I cannot lose, my comrades.
This is my ambition,
We will claim the lands for Philistia,
For power and religion.
We'll fight with torches at our feet,
Holy light upon our crowns,
We'll slay, no slaughter, the threat to
our daughters, our sons and lives,
Our Philistine pride.

But Time is calculating,
a slow and tactful behemoth:
Assertive, unrefined, He challenges
our infernal seraph.

Time is apathetic
Under sympathetic mask,
always flowing, always moving
Diverging and convergent.
Steady in my hatred
And forward in my intentions.
My foe Zeitgeist makes His advance:
A slow and sure destruction.

Time and I, bitter in our duty,
We cannot, could not forfeit.
In this grim predestined battle
I am Goliath.
