#the innocent

life slips through thin fingers: careless to the last

the sun sets in the sky: the light is fading fast

the stars are falling down: Gods' wrath patters like rain

nothing, nothing - an hollow shell: nothing, but for the pain

a killer stands in darkness: stalks an empty cage

what memories lurk beneath those eyes: silenced for an age

senseless dust and ashes: held fast by noble blood

scarlet flowing quickly: the calm before the flood

a careless thought or action: lets loose a battle-cry

violence begets violence: all innocent must die
