lyrics

~~~~~~~~~~

The mouth of the marsh,
Gapes cordially.
For twelve days and nights this,
Is all that I have seen.

The creaking godwits here,
Laugh at my trials.
Chewing burclover, I,
Trudge the sodden miles.

Between the reedmace gateposts,
A portcullis of rain slams down.
I am inside the antechamber,
And there is silence all around.

The glistering walls,
Reflect the glow,
That draws my aching legs,
To deeper, darker go.

I’ve come so far.
I’ve taken lives.
My mind's a bloodied blade.
My heart, it is a beehive.

Into the bowels of the pit,
I finally look upon my prize.
We all just do the best we can,
To do the least bad in our lives.

So how can it all go so wrong?

~~~~~~~~~~
