Lucy

And I will avenge

And I will avenge


All of our fallen limbs


But to what end?


Oh, I would gladly dig two graves


Give each and every eye 'til the world has gone blind



Darling, darling


Can't you see you're trespassing?


With all your vibrating vectors


You pass unhindered through each sector


Stepping on toes wherever you may go


And us?


Forever on stilts and eggshells


Forced from our homes



Forced to dwell...



Beyond your reach



In caves, under rocks


A diet of crow and cake


Egg on our face


Like scurrying millipedes

from your artificial light


But, my dear


You've greatly underestimated


The resilience of our tongues



We've grown accustomed to...


Grown a taste for...


The wounds that we lick


To piss and vinegar

and a mouthful of blood with each sip


We've become that which feeds on that which feeds on


For, ever stronger are the bones that have broken and calcified



A prison break from 'neath your ribcage


Crawling through your spray-painted city of worms


Oh, Pyrite Priestess to ferry us into the fire...


Won't you let me show you how to dance between the rain drops?



Your wrath.


Your rage.


It is WAR, we wage


With your head upon this pike


to forever proclaim


That our hearts are at long last free


To ride the Eastward winds


Wherever their true homes should lie...
