First impression is, the words work perfectly with the background -- the subtle font changes are nicely done as well. The words... I like "dark years", it's so obvious that I'm horrified I haven't seen it before, and it's ideal. I think "destined for deletion" is a bit much, though. "simplicity suffocating symbiosis" is really stretching my tolerance for alliteration. "heaven's scent sating earthly appetite" -- now, my first thought was "does a scent actually sate an appetite?" because I'd have thought that it would whet it instead, but then again you think of all the desperate sniffers following that trail and realise that they don't want the meal, just the promise that they won't go hungry for eternity. So, it's a good line. I think the last two lines of that stanza are overdone though, they're kind of bludgeoning -- I know some people need a good bludgeon now and then, but if they haven't got it by then they're already brain dead. So, in short (should probably have done the short version instead of boring you to tears and giving myself an excuse to use yet another cliche): good idea, good execution, too much is taking away from just enough.
