Bones like blackened brittle glass
Skin like sandpaper gravel rasp
Eyes like ebony empty eons
Heart of a heartless human scion
Blood on grass, grass it grows
Ink on paper, thoughts to know
Beaten iron, rusted shut
Hammered steel, soaked in gut
Memory poured out, like water to time
Sentience lost, bled out like wine
Souls saved, packed deep in the ground
Drip away, as vault after vault is found
Hope refuses, calls back to life
Heroes and heroines, once again rise
Some fail, some fizzle, some fracture and fall
Some shine, some sparkle, some scintillate all
Teeth, yet, teeth and claw too
Sharp to gnaw on me and you
Claws and pincers, fang and tooth
Eyes of blackness, hearts dark true
Where now the sine pattern that holds
Us up and down, always controlled
Trapped in a cycle, seeking to be free
But break the pattern, and you’ll let him be
Nothing but stories, spun in a circle
All the way up, every one a turtle
We try, to trust, and trust ever fails
So what? We must, if life is to sail
Keep true, Keep just, Keep honest and strong
Hold tight, remember us, and keep on, and on.
