Citizens of Babylon





Empty husk of insect skin

Dry blood and dead leaves

Thieves house within;

A virus copying house keys



Cheers to the ones that make it

Here’s to those who survive

Close off Heaven to them that rape it

And to Hell with all their lies



Waterfall of fire

Stale sweat and broken glass

Last flight before the mire

The final revenge for your past



A toast to the few who complete him

A boast for those who are good enough

Heaven for the girls that feel him

And Hell on them that lose his touch



Bird feathers flight against the sky

Snowflakes melting coals

Lulls and whispering and Sighs

Children selling their souls



Victory pray you who venture there

Safety we hope the best for you

Nothing’s the same that comes from there

You’ll be something changed and new



The pause between heart-beats

Spoken word and written letter

Heather and pleasant heat

Freedom for a debtor



What sadness we feel in ourselves

Such anger that fills our empty

This love that kills us

Oh the beauty we find in each other!

I've been busy world, but I promise, I'll get back to you soon enough <3
