Earthen Bonds -

Shat into existence, cursed seed beneath the sun

Placed upon a sinking path, grieved and set upon

And as we grow together, I begin to carve my rites

Of solitary inching through cyclopean might

A world unbridled in it’s horror

In this doomed nativity

Roots take hold in soil steeped in darkest disappointment

Pushing, ever pushing 'neath decaying green and innocence

Stunted growth by broken promise

Friendship grieved by judas kiss

A blade in twisted hand

To cut through gordian heart

A world unbridled in it’s horror

In this doomed nativity

Sacrificial son so fragile

Of melancholic proclivity

Beneath the rising sun, the blossoms fade to brown

Brute forced down choiceless path, the dreams are hammered down

Face first to gravelled soil, scars nailed into the ground

Tainted memory, the proof creeping beneath the earth

The seed of sorrow imprint, internalise what has been learnt

Lessons immemorial, of hollow virtue and the hurt

The powder keg is planted, the fuse now set to burn
