House of the Salamander

Spoiled embers of a mystery divine cast into shadows

Forsaken lizard burning up the ground

With dirty claw, snake tongue, bloodshot eyes

Spiraling out of control into fortified mazes

Life-altering leviathans stood in roads

Making love to darkness, embracing the void

Emptiness of humanity portrayed by a meek life form

Slowly carves its motions on desert lands

Subtle homemade valuable in sights so small

Below eagles a marching desolation reeks despair

Hope spills no rain upon you, sand crawler

Still thrusting rigidly in dirt, no trace left

Empty heights exposing a power greater than what you know

Any good fortune overlooking the creature

Scan the world around, seeking basic needs

Awakened truth knocks dominating caverns without walls

Unforgiving sun will suffocate all

Here in the house of the salamander

Splitting time from itself to reconnect some lost image
