she is alabaster and brine
she is a faster lairs line
unwind her spooled mind
memory a keepsake in hand conquers a trinket lost
eat mandrake to the root but what the cost
unspoiled her thoughts broil in her head
steam from every seam
salty her groin but she declines the offered coin
she will reap the bliss of your salty kiss
as you bite her short hair she will sing a country tune so fair
she is alabaster and brine
a master of wasted time

I am a dragon
Majestic and glorious
hiding in a cave

Used like beige callous entangled in our new desires
Castles built of vanity shroud the myre
As ballistics built to siege fuel the fire
Count the troops that serve you, and forget the others
Prepare your weaponry, we're fighting brothers

I burnt your churches and you sent your spies under covering
What god do you have now to relieve your suffering?
Forget all the holidays and the loving tales
Burn the book and set your navy sail
Guard yourselves with shields and chain mail

The years have dissolved hatred with sorrow
Casualties today have us looking for better tomorrows
We're too far in to declare peace, although all that is left is pieces
White flags are the only flags burning
And our nation's flags still folded at the creases
For our pride weighs more than our purpose
Although we're not proud of what we've done
This war has left us nothing but curses
And we've done enough damage to surface
From the deepening warcry of drums
But that sound will forever haunt me
