I gathered all the animals that dogged me: The Bears, Lions and treacherous snakes, Leading them like the piper with my reed To the temple that lay upon the mountainside. Books of poetry dedicated to decayed passions Were laid to rest upon bails of hay. I spread black fuels onto their bodies And with shaking hands carried a shining torch Flames rose like autumn leaves swept by grey winds Which reached with stretched arms to the clouds Like a wailing child to it's mother. The sky was torn in two, all ****** and broken. The great temple dedicated to times gone Was erased from the mountainside. With bared teeth and the eyes of another, I Inhaled the smoke and grew drunk upon it

Smoke
I gathered all the animals that dogged me: The Bears, Lions and treacherous snakes, Leading them like the piper with my reed To the temple that lay upon the mountainside. Books of poetry dedicated to decayed passions Were laid to rest upon bails of hay. I spread black fuels onto their bodies And with shaking hands carried a shining torch Flames rose like autumn leaves swept by grey winds Which reached with stretched arms to the clouds Like a wailing child to it's mother. The sky was torn in two, all ****** and broken. The great temple dedicated to times gone Was erased from the mountainside. With bared teeth and the eyes of another, I Inhaled the smoke and grew drunk upon it
