An Absence of Mirrors

lyrics

Liar

I only saw him from a distance
But clearly heard his tritone tune
Welcomed by a crowd of pissants
Barking to a hunter’s moon

Grinning, then
The hangman sung
The simple hymn his flock now bleats
To sharpen up his hungry tongue
And glut it on her darker meats

“Peace go with you.
Night, God bless.”
But no one hates the wolf for nothing

“I’m the same as them. Stay by me. Please”
She said, asleep, Cassandraic
Meanwhile…
Their a cappela crescendo blasted

(The year survives, but she’ll bleed her last hour swinging)

“His words are nothing.
Hell couldn’t get to you through me”
I said, with nothing but the best intentions

But time was pressing
October’s final sunset loomed
And in a dream I heard them

Come

“I’m the same as them. Stay by me. Please”
She said, asleep, Cassandraic
Meanwhile…
Their mutilated concerto droned

(We’ll follow him, tooth and claw, pelt and eager appetite)

“Enters a mentor
to the very meat upon which he feeds” I said
“It’s almost laughable”

But storms were coming
There was a red moon on the rise
But still, I kept on singing

Be not afraid, I go before you always

Liar

Faster, now
The hangman rides
And fuels his train with gold and hope
To navigate her warm insides
And gauge her neck for strength of rope

I only saw him preach the cull
Calm and slow and raving mad
But though his words were harsh and dull
My, my, what shining eyes he had
