Blackest Night #6 (2010)

Lyrics

The rings are / just trinkets / solid, black / empty vice without a / betrothed finger / to strangle / so I guess death be / like that too / because a casket / just a box until a / hero fills out / the dimensions / like air in an ever shrinking / space / no wonder Hal / and Barry ain't tryin' to / go back when / the rings start / whispering nostalgia / of the empty / heartbreak / they once shared and everybody / dead now / or dead again / I guess is the proper / nomenclature / wouldn't want / to disrespect the way a / white hero can / rise so quickly / from the eternity / where the black / heroes swim / long enough to develop / gills or schools / of tombstones / like fish but I still / get the way / that Green Lantern / hitched a chain around / The Flash's / chest and held on / for dear life (for the / moment) and / let Flash enter the / speedforce before they / entered another / grave and while / I never befell an / accident that rendered / me the fastest / man alive I have ran / fast enough to keep / me breathing / even while my friends / became death and / decaying versions / of someone I once loved / and how easy / an argument to make / that heroes you knew / in life are no longer / living so what right do / you have to still see / the blue entity on this side / of the longboxes / I guess if a ring / comes for me, at least / I know I've got / good company or at least / a school of water logged / heroes who / never got another rebirth / or #1 with their / name on the / cover slightly larger / than the white author / who deemed them / worth living
