Ring Of Truth

This is how I come to you
Through cloying puss of death
Time of new rebellion
Above the dark river cue
The night behind us beckons
There is but one window through
Which to know our darkness
War is all I’ve ever known
Eternal peaceful grave
Men must always work and die
Become each other’s slave
Stretch open to me
Open to me
War is all I’ve ever known
No one knows except you
How to make me brighten
I walk on coral bound
Etching floor underside
Submersing to a flashing blue
Knowing you’re by my side
Mountain’s fires burn
Making narrow ledges
Working toward an underway
Heavy ripe growth in sedges
Stretch open to me
Open to me
Crawling low as python root
Across the hill we deadline
War is all I’ve ever known
