OUR TIME HAS COME
Betrayal lays on the floor, life leaking out in scarlet
He hears her footsteps retreat
Click, clack, click, clack
Heels against the hardwood floor
Their rhythm matches his fading heartbeat
As his body grows cold behind her, Vengeance smiles
The end has come, her goal reached
She looks up to the sky
Raindrops wet her skin and wash his blood away
I’ve avenged you, Father
CROWSONG
It stares down from the telephone wire
Black eyes bore holes through the people below
It observes the fickle clash of desires
As people dance along to the song of the crow
Dark feathers rustle as it unfurls its wings
Its silhouette blocks the light of the sun
As it soars through the air, soft and quiet it sings
And the threads of the day come undone
DROWN
Choke on salty brine
Bubbles release from your lips
Your body sinks down
The green sea is relentless
In its pursuit of your breath
