I am Brother Murder.
My memories are the visions of the Dead:
the bomb mushrooming on the horizon;
the whistling bullet that sears the flesh;
the dark flower that blooms in reverse.
The blade plunged through my Brother’s chest
pierced mine as well,
shattering my soul like a mirror,
cursing me to unrequited doom.
I have seen the world quake;
Atlantis sink and drown;
Sodom ignited under a pillar of flame
until all that remained was Hell on Earth.
I have heard the Messiah doubt the Father,
and have felt the gelid kiss
of the Devil himself.
I wield the Hollow Secret;
the Eerie Scheme.
You know me, yet deny me,
until your lover slays your heart
and you can no longer abide her;
or your King ends you far away from home,
killing enemies you wish to understand;
or your pulse, wallowing in sorrow,
beckons the razor.
The Impaler was I.
The Ripper was I.
Grendel was my son;
the Dragon his mother.
Hitler—my madness.
Mengele—my doctor.
Jones—my preacher.
Manson—my movie star.
