the mountains towered
the evening darkened
the seventh hour begins
the toxic thoughts inside your mind
are sure to win again.
the trees swayed
the earth crumbled
the moon will bear my skin
the lingering light and empty nights
have stolen a piece within.
the flames calmed
the ocean parted
the eyes of God dimmed
the world saw you for the first time
and bowed before your sins.

the mountains towered
the evening darkened
the seventh hour begins
the toxic thoughts inside your mind
are sure to win again.
the trees swayed
the earth crumbled
the moon will bear my skin
the lingering light and empty nights
have stolen a piece within.
the flames calmed
the ocean parted
the eyes of God dimmed
the world saw you for the first time
and bowed before your sins.
