The revenant irreverent bathing in bloodshed the sylvan entities bleed chlorophyll from green to red you were doomed for every second you're awaiting in the woodlands the cold caress of carbon claws clutched in their green hands here's your tomb even a drop of rusted plasma bodes a visit to turgid tongues 'tis truly tasty and exquisite what came first, the stories or the menace? what lives on, the murder or the legend? (what dies first, the murder or the legend?) I never claimed my co-conspirators cadaverous they're only eager to augment my avid avarice give me mine A grinning ghoulish face awaits within the darkness is it a wonder how the stories got their start? it's killing time

Eyes watching from above wings stretched across the wall here I will never watch in vain I born of harsher fires I bathed in colder rains no harm will come to us this day form I am forced to take honor I will receive though I desire no great price love does not keep me here duty, I show no fear I am a sanctified device I am the only one who keeps the devils at bay awake I stand on guard, aware, atop this place a sculpture given life that burns through eyes of grey made to watch over all under the roof I grace bright stars my only fire rain is my only wine I need no comfort in my role I born of mother's bone I pride of father's hand here to defend their mortal souls all rest is for the weak closed eyes are for the blind for there is work yet to be done steadfast against the storm eternal at its post though I may be the only one
4.
Serpents and spiders, your darkest desires deviously weaving the web of events seraphs are silenced for devout defiance desperately trying to mount a defense ghosts guide your hands and conspire in your soul with true intention the action is whole they keep you awake as you lie in your bed firebrands ablaze as they conquer your head All in error say "I" give me your weak minded for my endeavor with me, you rogues! We don't want to live forever Miniscule do-gooders burned down the neighborhood forcing the hunters and wolves to retreat prey became predator, there is no competitor playing the victim they beg for defeat Insects, infections, the pestilence falls one curse is still unconstrained by your walls it keeps you awake as you lie in your bed and opens the graves of the heroes who bled
5.
when the harvest ended the citadels burned down and in the dust I painted the sickle in red clay drumbeat echoes across the skyline traced in the starlight the diamond in green clay Others give their wealth as if you hadn't more Others give their blood I give you soil when the temple's fallen down and faith has left to die and when to dust we shall return I give you the soil Taken by the water locked in my reflection in my hand I cradle the chalice in white clay fiery eyes observe piercing cloud and armor in their light I trace the fountain in black clay every facet of the crystal a fractal of my conscience whisper old familiar lines one folk, one folk-lore, one of them!
6.
I tasted iron on my tongue before the leaves turned red I have seen the embers fail in the wake of harvest pyres and the coldest season is yet to come I can feel it in my bones won't you leave a flower for me as a token of what we've done? I heard crow song in the woods as the clouds obscured the light I have built these walls of stone to ward against the night I watched the stems break through the soil before the sun returned I reaped the fruits of all our scars after all the cities burned
7.
I had to speak my father’s words I had to cry my mother’s tears I had to walk my teacher’s path Because I forgot my own Pulse and pace forge ahead and I forget Do I walk or fly? In my memory pictures I recall In my passing sigh Is this a mirror reflecting my past? Is this my future in a crystal ball? Do I soar up hollow towers Or down endless wells I fall? I don’t recognize my voice I don’t know whose skin I’m in I don’t think I have a name And I don’t think I will I dreamt I stretched my hands and walked Through an open door Bells as if from a distant temple rang As the thunder’s roar In these strange rooms the fires whisper a name Visions of three faces melting to one in the same Calling my soul to the place of its birth Ethereal origin between hell and earth Seasons unchanged in these long mortal days All fades behind as I depart the way
