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
