Trouble, Death And Rebirth

I walked on covered bones,
Gave letters to the wind;
In a town I can't call home:
I've sinned, I've sinned, I've sinned.

A daisy from an eyeball.
An elbow in the ground.
To friends who never get called:
I'm downed, I'm downed, I'm downed.

The dust atop felled rubble
Seeks the nose of strangers.
To those who think me too bold:
Scream danger, danger, danger.

The fabulists recant their words,
As spectres vex with yawning,
To those who leave before they've heard:
A warning, warning, warning .

Golden fabric tangled freedom,
Under ravens squawking breath.
To those who walk beneath them:
On to death, to death, to death.

To skin and sinew not afraid,
Embrace my empty girth.
To all anew who breath invades:
Rebirth, rebirth, rebirth.
