Follow me, lover

When blood of scarlet drips from you
And death seems to pray on foes
Flee my love, don't let it come true

Ravaged from the depths of new
Fire burn, torch the skin, let flow
When blood of scarlet drips from you

Town of charcoal and people slew
Skin picked from bone by beak of crow
Flee my love, don't let it come true

Children cry out as hopes fall through
Mothers pray to great gods, yet know
When blood of scarlet drips from you

And when the sky returns to blue,
And the grass begins to regrow
Flee my love, don't let it come true

Follow me, lover, again pursue
To mountain valleys where moon glows
When blood of scarlet drips from you
Flee my love, don't let it come true

  • Bones like caverns

    Deep caverns in misty eyes
    Where the sun goes 
    and where it dies
    Watches me from sunken holes
    sits across on stands of gold
    Surface colored with gray like bone
    Surface round, cold and lone

    Where men fall
  • gray wings of wax


    Through hell flame
    and water holy
    And shifting blame
    and losing slowly

    Wings of gray
    Strong and stern
    break away
    refuse to learn

    Sprout from backs
    of barely mortal
    Wings of wax
    doomed to boil
