Den Okande Krigar

Crossed stitch your branded eye
The frame that I adore
Can only be seen when you cry.

I can't dance with evil anymore
The lust I hold inside
The secret only captures the shadow I hide
Forfeit the other side
The secret only captures the shadow I hide
For the other side.

Banish the sick hand
Tears of strength hold the ashes
Of a past I no longer mourn
Program the steady plan
You just might respect
Everything over your head.

Apologies to the north
I don't want to offend you
My sympathies to the east
I shouldn't remind you
Apologies for the south
That's where I'm from
As my vision fades out west
The future's yet to come.

The crystal view of deprivation
A sense so cold, your comforting lies
Distant and well sustained
Blinded in a sea of sadness.

Quite aware of reflection, this tension
Manifests deceit
Now more than ever
Dishonesty never
My own selfish endeavors.

Banish the sick hand
Tears of strength hold the ashes
Of a past I no longer mourn
Program a steady plan
You just might respect
Everything over your head.
