Marauder

Staining the soil midst of stillness

Beloved fraternity to an end

Red eyes probe the scene

All the same

Stilted for the beholder

Depravity from the core

Handcarved death in stoneladen aisles



I hide the scars from my past

Yet the sense my (mute) dirge

This is when it all falls apart

White bands grasping for straws



Sly smile, poisoned glare behind

Undisguied manmade nova

Mute cry, don't care to tread

Searing beams tracking you down



Adoring what never has been

Some will bring with them all they have seen



Searching my way to perplexion

The gleam of her eyes

In that moment she knew



Thought I could not leave this palce

On this imminent day

As I've reached the final dawn

To what's gone astray

What would they care if I did stay?

No-one would know

What would they care if I did stay?

No-one should know



Still brooding, soothing calm

That rigid, twisted face

Blank godhead, tear my name

Lost virtue, frantic lust



Searching my way to perplexion

In crumbling faith I saw her

Bearing her pain in the wilderness

The gleam of her eyes

In that moment she knew
