the aggrieved has no recourse
his shackles will cause him to drown
no succor, he drags himself
to his cage and there he lays to rest
brace as your reason subsides
recoil from the light in your eyes
violent unexpected
a scarlet starless sky
reel from what stirs in your mind
crimson bright notions that hide
in morbid intellects that
deny erase revile
brace as your reason subsides
recoil from the light in your eyes
funeral mounds
divorced from their tension
our noble intentions
fall on barren grounds
violent unexpected
an idol resurrected
brace as your reason subsides
recoil from the light in your eyes
you struggle to forget
the sorrow you beget
is scarlet crimson red
