Watchtower

from If History by Rayleigh

lyrics

emptiness the presence of possibility
head wound under
a clairvoyant sun god that licks his lips
and basks in austerity

my thoughts cut and bled
soured soil and stained wood
i am the child of this land
of those who charred hands
holding them to flame
and i won’t speak to you by name

now i feel that
i should parse your shadow
i fear you, destroyer
as a simple man
of sinew and bone should

each lash a gift
to suffer in paragon's pursuit
oh, to be pious
to be sterling ensconced

to be meek
to be benign

a saxon wrote of your death
i fear him, destroyer
as a simple man
of callow freedom should

here lies one who only spoke in cypher
and i wasted so much time
