Your sons are dead

Killed by your own hand

Your daughters have fled

You drove them from the land

Shame to you, a plague on you

You’re nothing but bones and air

Shame to you, a plague on you

You stacked your fire with the bones of your dead

For a thousand years may your eyes never find rest

May the rest of your days be spent running from the past

May you wander the earth as a nomad

Nameless until the day you die

Wear a smile that’s held open by an iron hook

See shadows and traces of death everywhere you look

Feel exhaustion in your core that you cannot sleep out

And let shame, shame haunt you like the grave

For a thousand years may your feet never find rest

May your heart dismay and feel no peace as you grow older

May you spend your every waking moment

Looking over your shoulders

I swear no sleep until you are dead

No rest until I hold your head

No sleep until you are dead

No rest
