Just beyond the bend
Few words spoken
A chill in the air
Waiting, as the clocktower chimes
To the ring of melancholic bells
A thick fog rolling in,

A tale once foretold
Of heroic actions
And bold men and their violence
Of their masters campaign to silence
Voices ring truest with empathy fluency
If you follow one man, your life becomes truency
Upon a false altar you pray
You will falter

I shall let you bring me
Anything you seek or desire
Shall my fate be beholden
To the fury of your fire?
Here I stand in duty to fulfill
What you solely desire?
No space no room in my head
in absence of thought you shall expire

Countless tries
Failure always fails to make me cry
Swallow my pride, let you bring the lies
You fail to understand I already understand
Myself deep inside
I can't afford to carry your remorse

Few will bear a bit of fire
The flames lick with each desire
Upon the mantle above the earth p

I feel with no mind
I never remind, myself
Before pain I have knelt
And prayed upon the altar
True colors in ways without words
Lost in layers of dysfunction
Memories seem like ghosts

A tale once foretold
Of heroic actions
And bold men and their violence
Of their masters campaign to silence
It said the masses would perish
Not as victim, but as targets
Innocent near should fight and never fear
Any man that makes life itself dissappear
