The seas are high
the wind's enraged
the twilight cries
before the age
before the time,
you had a-comin'
from 'neath the tide
shriekin' an' shunnin'
witness me, stars
deliver my ire
to sleepless Earth
as its tears come afire
broiling with zeal
in embers unsacred
as they split to reveal
the seed of my hatred
the eye that stares
into the bleakness
beyond the glares
englazed with weakness
when midnight ticks
when crickets call
when darkness licks
you'll hear me, doll
in silence scattered
by voices dead
who said you mattered
but went ahead
who stole someone's sun
and gave you a peek
who called you Hun
to have your obliques
and so you are fed
for that's all you do
look what's ahead
and glutton too soon
but there's a whole world
beyond those two feet
ever whirling with twirls
that you'll never feel
'til the morning in gallows
when light doesn't come
when lonely and shallow
is all you've become
surrounded with lies
you no longer reject
you'll look in the eye
that I now project
for low is the screech
and slow is the cold
but destined to reach
wherever you go
let echo the moans
again and again
one day they won't
you'll see me then.
