Godhead's Lament

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 the sense my (mute) dirge
This is when it all falls apart
White bands grasping for straws
Sly smile, poisoned glare behind
Undisguied manmade nova
Mute cry, don't care 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 palce
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 calm
That rigid, twisted face
Blank godhead, tear my name
Lost virtue, frantic lust
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
