about

To one far away...

lyrics

The wealth of a burning star
Reveals itself to the earth
As your eyes ride out
Like a moth into it's light
A tethered saint mutilated
Consecrating the ground
For desires cast astray
Purified and scorned

The illusion swings in silence
Above a charred memory
Was this my reward?
Existence without retreat
Blood mingles with the rain
Adorning glass and bone
That cuts at the heels
of those left behind

What will be next when all is carried out?
How many silent mercies?
The officer walks along the arch
A last trophy for my pain

Rats gnawing a stale remnants
For security and for life
This tedious punishment
Leaves nothing to the eye
And you enjoy every breath
