Wind On, Dearest Time

I cannot connect myself

Falling from this Earthly shelf

Plagued by ghosts, plagued by demons;

Death in every single season.

Ancient spirits in my wake

Telling me of what's at stake

Kissing me with pristine lips

Where only death there may sit.

The Fiddler sits upon my shoulder

Making it just that much colder

He sits and plays but does not speak

He sits and plays and only weeps.

And God, he sits upon the other

Speaking of evils he cannot smother

Sits and watches fools kneel down

Praying to a falsified crown.

And I, well I too weep with them

And speak of things that we condemn

Things we know we cannot change;

Looked upon like we're deranged.

 

I sit here with these fallen Gods

These drunken ******** and sunken Sods

These olden kings of another time

Upon a mountain we did not climb.
