Gaze away at the iridescent Cemetery sunrise While harbouring anger From previous lifetimes The seeds of petty discontent  bloomed into a field of sorrow In it lies a path That meanders through Tracing the origins of tragedy And leading back to the womb Memories of October When you were highly favoured Are etched on your skin Like old scars Brought back from war You dissolve in the shadows Of the light shines upon them all Always the forgotten Struck with two little arrows Is your heart in your hands Always in your trembling hands Your resolve wore thin Safe as houses no more No longer will you bury yourself beneath these sins The flood of aftereffect Is corroding what remains When the time comes I will stand on the gallows Beside you.

The Gallows
Gaze away at the iridescent Cemetery sunrise While harbouring anger From previous lifetimes The seeds of petty discontent  bloomed into a field of sorrow In it lies a path That meanders through Tracing the origins of tragedy And leading back to the womb Memories of October When you were highly favoured Are etched on your skin Like old scars Brought back from war You dissolve in the shadows Of the light shines upon them all Always the forgotten Struck with two little arrows Is your heart in your hands Always in your trembling hands Your resolve wore thin Safe as houses no more No longer will you bury yourself beneath these sins The flood of aftereffect Is corroding what remains When the time comes I will stand on the gallows Beside you.
