Every step walked Takes us farther from home With every word spoken We feel more alone For eternate aeons Just walking away No love, consolation Or freedom or say. As fickle as smoke, But a trifling doubt A whisp in the willows We silently shout. The daggers that stab us The water that drowns The fire that burns us And we don't make a sound. Emotions are trapped In this blindfolded clutch We're ***** by our deaths And can't feel its cold touch The storm now is mild But the black clouds still growl And the stench in the air Will not go and smells foul. And yet we march on While our home moves away We are blind, we are deaf And we're stalked by our prey.

Prey
Every step walked Takes us farther from home With every word spoken We feel more alone For eternate aeons Just walking away No love, consolation Or freedom or say. As fickle as smoke, But a trifling doubt A whisp in the willows We silently shout. The daggers that stab us The water that drowns The fire that burns us And we don't make a sound. Emotions are trapped In this blindfolded clutch We're ***** by our deaths And can't feel its cold touch The storm now is mild But the black clouds still growl And the stench in the air Will not go and smells foul. And yet we march on While our home moves away We are blind, we are deaf And we're stalked by our prey.
Humans are strange creatures.
