Marauder
Staining the soil, midst of stillness
Beloved fraternity to an end

Red eyes probe the scene
All the same
Stilted for the beholder

Depravity from the core
Handcarved death in stoneladen aisles


I hide the scars from my past
Yet they sense my (mute) dirge
This is when it all falls apart

White hands grasping for straws

Sly smile, poisoned glare behind

Undisguised manmade nova
Mute cry, don't dare to tread
Searing beams tracking you down


Adoring what never has been
Some will bring with them all they have seen


Searching my way to perplexion
The gleam of her eyes

In that moment she knew

Thought I could not leave this place

On this imminent day
As I've reached the final dawn
To what's gone astray

What would they care if I did stay
No-one would know
What would they care if I did stay

No-one should know

Thought I could not leave this place

On this imminent day
As I've reached the final dawn
To what's gone astray

What would they care if I did stay
No-one would know
What would they care if I did stay

No-one should know

Still brooding, soothing clam

That rigid, twisted face
Blank godhead, tear my name
Lost virtue, frantic lust


Sly smile, poisoned glare behind
Undisguised manmade nova

Mute cry, don't dare to tread
Searing beams tracking you down


Adoring what never has been
Some will bring with them all they have seen


Searching my way to perplexion
In crumbling faith I saw her
Bearing her pain in the wilderness

The gleam of her eyes
In that moment she knew
