Arrow

Stub towers in the distance

Riders cross the blasted moor against the horizon

Fickle promises of treaty

Fatal harbingers of war, futile orisonsSwirl as one in this flight, this mad chase

This surge across the marshy mud landscape

Until the meaning is forgottenHood masks the eager face

Skin stretched and sallow

Headlong into the chilling night

As swift as any arrowFeet against the flagstones

Fingers scrabbling at the lock, craving protection

Sanctuary croaks a voice

Half-strangled by the shock of its rejectionShot the bolt in the wall, rusted the key

Now the echoes of all frightful memory

Intrude in the silenceWhat a crawl against the slope

Dark loom the gallows

One touch to the chapel door

How swiftly comes the arrowCompassion you plead, as though they kept it in a box

Well, that's long since been empty

I'd like to help you somehow but I'm in the self-same spot

My condition exempts meWe are all on the run on our knees

The sundial draws a line upon eternity

Across every numberHow long the time seems

How dark the shadow

How straight the eagle flies

How straight towards his arrowHow long the night is

Why is this passage so narrow?

How strange my body feels

Impaled upon the arrow
