This beautiful anarchy makes my pulse quicken
The blooming rose of blood is aesthetically pleasing to my eyes
I raise my cold blade and prepare to recieve another blow
The dark droplets of blood splatter onto my open Bible
I peer down to see the entry
The Anti-Christ is now covered in my life-blood
I grin to myself as this terrible lust fills my body
My future is looking very bleak at this moment
I fall to the floor, clutching my arm
This is not self-benevolence
It is not love
The rivers of blood make bloody trails down my arm
My mind is not clear
My lucidity is muddled completely
I grimace in pain at the ceiling and wait for the end
