I stare blankly across the land
Desolate and bathed in heat
Blood falls slowly to the sand
And gathers at my feet

Salty tears stream from my eyes
Burning trails of hate
I came here as fast as I could
But still, I was too late

Turning away from the empty void
I drop down to my knees
I hear a pathetic sobbing voice
And realize...It's me

Smoldering homes and bodies
Leave a most unpleasant scent
I see rafters and torn limbs exposed
Bones shattered and grotesquely bent

The pharaoh's men had come and gone
Most likely on horseback
This I can assume because
They left bloody hoof tracks

The pharaoh with a hawk's eye
Has an aura of gold
It conceals everything except...
The black inside his soul

And what am I to do for now?
My life now has no meaning
Everything I've come to know
Has been taken from me this evening

Such dark and heavy agony
Fills my heart with shadow
This odd sort of meloncholy
Is driving me quite mad now

I may try to end my life
I may go insane
Either way can end my strife
But non can cease my pain

Thinking endlessly of ways
To calm my pointless shouts
I waste myself some days of rage
Until the hatred sprouts

The pharaoh's men had done their deeds
Leaving nothing behind
Except my lonely heart which bleeds
A blood of the coldest kind

The pharaoh with a hawk's eye
Should keep his men about
For when the proper day arrives
I'll tear his hawk's eye out.
