somewhere inside of me is the primal feeling that in love I still believe

soaked in blood and covered in the blackened ashe of the funeral pyres that light up the skies for miles 
I'm holding onto my memories and hatreds
in my slumber all alone in my head it should be so silent 
but all I hear is the screams of the dead an dying 
these have been just battles 
but the war is certainly coming
I can feel it in my heart the blood of our enemies will flow 
and that of the innocent will also cover the ground 
if I had a soul I think I would cry but I sold that for vengeance
more than a millennium ago 
it seems people moved on and the world tilted leaving parents weeping, children slain, love left mortality wounded 
in the streets for all to see 
with nothing more than bloody thoughts fear will reign
so off I ventured with three feet of cold steel, to quench my thirst for my enemies blood for love is not yet dead 
and somewhere inside of me is the primal feeling 
that in love I still believe

The Exquisite Corpse

 

The woman of myth, of legend, of the past destined to never return. All that is left is a metaphor for what has gone, all the effort, the skills, the deeds, the sins. Where are you Dan? U R missed - allets -
