Weeping

a crystal gaze......a worthy show
inside her land she bathes for tomorrow

indepth sight into the devil's glare
this ravaged soul fights for breath
a tranquil river, a bed of flowers
her blood upon the midnight hours

she lays her hand among the dead
and as she weeps she lays down her head

the moon gazes down, she seems not to care
and the silver lining of life itself
to the darkest dead a sliver of fear
life's luxury subdues

a weeping woman in a bed of flowers
waiting for the morning hours
but morning comes much too late
and now the earth is filled with hate

the icy sky comes bearing down
her mind slips..she's going down
she's going down

her cries echo throughout the ages
her words forever etched in pages
and now her body, crimson red
she kneels down and begs for death

to hear this woman weep forever
to hear these words of pain
the hear the sky growling, hate
like a mandrake's howl, insane

dusk is trapped in a static shadow
a rainbow salve ,unopened shame

this woman tears, this woman cries
her blood pours down the dreaded skies

her eyes invert, she sees the same
her mind is ravaged, gone insane
and so she looks into the river
and so she looks unto the river

her naked body sheds the husk
her naked body, marks of shame
the icy river, a mark of change

to see this woman sink with hate
the tears of a half-hearted sake
trapped in a fluid of icy grip
she floats nowhere...........
