Ragged Tooth |
| What unknown face now breaks the silence? |
| What tipping force disturbs the balance? |
| Swift and sober, comes a voice, offering a bitter choice |
| Take up a crime and serve the sentence, offer up a final penance |
| Or dismantle colossus from deep inside, conspirators, |
| and those allied |
| Gifts of bronze, iron, obsidian, from nave to chop, |
| plunged and hidden |
| Deep in the chests of those who cry, the songs of gods untrue |
| The prayers to start or end the coup, forever silenced |
| Like sulfur set to fire, blue flame is born |
| To rip through homes and cleanse the town |
| A new world rendered, an old world mourned |
| The old world left to drown |
| It draws closer with every step, push off with both feet |
| Fall into the chasm, which will consume all |
| March not to the drum, but off the beat |
| Burst into the evening, cool air burns the lungs |
| Fear not the turning heads, the darting glances, the lashing tongues |
| The glowing eyes that burn like embers, fall painful on the skin |
| Seething with hatred, and writhing in pain, they cast a ghastly grin |
| Yet among the faces shrouded in horror, one truth prevails |
| All who’ve ever come this far exclusively have failed |
| Reach for the hand whose grasp is firm, |
| Whose blistered palms can confirm, |
| A kinship in a spiteful place, |
| with tender touch a warm embrace |
| Though nights turn long and cold, and the warmth of the day escapes |
| The long dark shadows growing old, form familiar shapes |
