Bitter Ruin - Just A Book
There's a scroll
you've yet to read out loud
Get rolling rolling rolling rolling out
Rolling out the red like blood spill
and I will be
Holding holding holding holding on
Say what you need to
Your stones cannot bare like
threats of a snare
So tear up these words like
they're meat for the hungry
The nobody told me
These words nobody ever hears
Just a book to be read
Waiting on the seabed
Under the weighty waves
For years
To the press we'll take it
shave off slim pay offs for
Turning turning turning turning out
All the leaves of all the tree breasts
we use for the chests
Now burning burning burning burning
Our candles both ends but
Are you not tempted Empty and rented
Looting your temples and making example
Pack-like to handle and
These words nobody ever hears
Just a book to be read
Waiting on the seabed
Under the weighty waves
For years
Call call them out
From under the decks of wrecks
and I'll bet you all
They'll be loud
Louder than thunder but silent in slumber
These words nobody ever hears
Just a book to be read
Waiting on the seabed
Under the weighty waves
For years
