may the corpses rest in peace
killed by them scars and disease
cutting a smile in half
awaiting the sweet relief
tears spilling in grief
breathing the ever lasting pain
until it's too late to leave
I don't know what I became
and ran through those doors
out in the ocean
climbing up the walls
that are now old and broken
swam with the sharks
and I danced with the clouds
as a symphony of thunder played
beyond the reach and loud
lightning up the fiery stars
as they fell down from the sky
exploding in a thousand pieces
and no one could hear me cry
that was a rather lonely time
there was not much to find
in dark that consumed me whole
i lost all that was ever mine
i turned to see but it was gone
nothing but empty space all around
i screamed and wept for the names
but there was never to be no sound
then a shiver ran through my bones
and I felt a stranger in my own skin
thunder was raging up and high
I thought that would be my coffin
and then I saw the dead crawling
in numbers on the shore
a sea of rotten meat
like they sang in the old lores
winds blew me to the herd
as they grazed beyond a red sea
the sky was full of birds
more than it was supposed to be
there I stood in the shadows
mesmerized by what I had seen
memories spent in mourning
how long could it have been
I'm forgetting all that matters
time has never felt so wrong
in the ages that have been withered
have I been dead for so long ?
i remember dreaming of a ghost
in whispers I heard him sing
he told me that I shall too be
swept away by the northern winds
