I stood in firelight Sweltering blood Stain on my chest Like map of violent new continent Felt cleansed Felt dark planet turn under my feet And knew what cats know What makes them scream like babies in the night Looked at sky through smoke Heavy with human fat And God was not there The cold suffocating dark goes on forever And we are alone This rudderless world is not shaped by vague metaphysical forces It is not God who kills the children Not fate that butchers them Or destiny that feeds them to the dogs It's us Only us
