Analysis of Inherit the globe
Vaulted breath and lonesome blight
Stretching scar of awkward sight
Persuasive keep in which to breed
And blatant pause to supersede
Neglected fool of vacant lie
Extinction vexed and prophet sigh
Hunger feast and child fate
Confusion grip beleaguers hate
Downward maze to conquer pride
Sacrifice of futile tide
Chosen sleep and shadow's soul
Layered form and slaughtered goal
Angel cloth and blood of lamb
Shattered sea and liquid dam
Torch of thought to favored blind
Rage of beasts the meek remind
Sorrow's guilt and anger's fault
Breath betrays its lonesome vault
Scattered sigh of prophet haste
Futile tide and hunger chaste
