The Lotus Eater

The liquid is in your throat

One hopeless delight

After all you fell in love with death

Life has aborted

All you've had and all you became

The night is calling, you pray forth

A barren waste is your land

Crops they were sown to die

This skin is a mirror

The eyes hover with ignorance

Health runs from your lips

Sucked in and safe from the world of sleep

All years caring for a liar

The barren drift road is winding higher

You're a moth too close to the fire

You are stuck in a route of confusion

Changing and waiting and seeking the truth of it all

Fleeting in sorrow

Pushing your spirit away

Seeking the weakness of the psyche

Whispered from the heart of evil

Luring them all into despair

Resenting the goods of a savior

Cries out: The restless will also die

A seIection culled from the damned

Drawing a lifeline of one

A friend died in your room

And sought the birth of a follower

O brother, you are a killer

And you target yourself

I wish you had never come back

For us to see the beckoning end

And the pride of a mother

Drawn close in a mother's son

And the love from a father

Was used by a father's son

Over warrior's token

Mispoken lives on

The language unimportant

So fair and so just

All the land is taken
