Mohican Requiem

Man is prey my son 

Free your mind and know no fear

Wolves are in the trees

Swift prepare your skills 

Lest your dread breed not but hate 

Lies infect the air

Look toward your home

What can with you walk or stay 

Knowing all may go

Choose what lives you save

As the pitiful may come

Options must not fail

Build your body best

Saving more than just a soul

Living mans god wins

Don't neglect to love

Though another tests your will

Peace may have a toll

-Hermit King-

The Sin Eater

Dine on chilled of sin

With murderous fuel of tears

I have supped the damned

Drunk upon their rage

Draughts of  final vengeance mine

Vile and sweet it's course

Ever famished lord

On these barbecues I roast

Ashen rests the meat

Given just desserts

Each one ravenous consumed

Lost on blades of time

Check forever paid

A digestion is no jest

Heartless burns that pool

Now too late we know

Understanding of this bite

Hate was all but waste

-Hermit King-

Silent Cage

Covered cages blind beside them

Never calling songs of home

Dragon children

Who would heal them

Born and ever left to roam

Mothers streets are desperation

Nursed on chance and happenstance

Love would feed us

Night will bleed us

Living litter's twilight dance

Fathers call from darkened corner

Come and taste the bread of fear

Hear it in the subtle hiss

Papa needs a little kiss

Altered souls soon disappear

Youth in tribal families prowl

Heed before each coming dawn

Steal your cash

Protect your stash

Bread's the gold of every pawn

God's a thought for masterbation

Words of light and lands so green

A lust for fools

In worlds so cruel

It's just a match for gasoline

Dodge the daily demon dance

Walk the wasteland where I play

Enjoy the scene

Of where I've been

Tip the ghosts and skip away

- Hermit King-

Departure

Accept we must to rally on
Prepping heart and soul
Know full well the living left
Carry forth the toll

Soon too soon a son is down   
Silence overflows
Breakers strike a raging brow
Pain in thundershows

Baring it another dawn
Only by his will
Brief has been the journey
Eternity the kill

Smile firm forgiveness
Enmity is gone
All we'd done is living
Prince as well as pawn

Close your eyes to feel this hand
Resting on your heart
We love you son forever
We're ok you can depart

-Hermit King-
