Marauder
Staining the soil, midst of stillness
Beloved fraternity to an end
Red eyes probe the sceneAll the same
Stilted for the beholder
Depravity from the core
Handcarved death in stoneladen aislesI hide the scars from my past
Yet they sense my (mute) dirge
This is when it all falls apart
White hands grasping for strawsSly smile, poisoned glare behind
Undisguised manmade nova
Mute cry, don 't dare to tread
Searing beams tracking you downAdoring what never has been
Some will bring with them all they have seenSearching my way to perplexion
The gleam of her eyes
In that moment she knewThought I could not leave this place
On this imminent day
As I 've reached the final dawn
To what 's gone astrayWhat would they care if I did stay
No-one would know
What would they care if I did stay
No-one should knowStill brooding, soothing clam
That rigid, twisted face
Blank godhead, tear my name
Lost virtue, frantic lustSearching 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
