The Beacon

washed up on shore
my craft in ruin
the wreckage sparing only my life
no comforts to bear the elements
just a mind willing to face
what horrors may come
won't leave this to fate
glass shards and some kindling
to lead search my way
the roaring flames calling
I’ll just have to sit and wait
thick black trails
catching the wind
a ship will arrive any day
I will miss the natural beauty
the serenity of the sands
the wreckage granting me
a new life
bearing the elements
with just my mind
expelling the horrors
left to fate
the roaring flames calling
to steady the signal
picking at the brush
I’ll just have to sit and wait
just over the horizon
I see sails approaching
that familiar sigil
a return to the turbulent tides
I’ve grown accustomed
there's no denying
this is my rescue

Scorched Earth Campaign

echoes of the embers
beckons me
I grit my teeth
blistered hands clenching
bitterness churns
the blackness to bile
shaking staggering
with visions of exile
burning anything that will ignite
to steady the signal
breaking off bits of the bulwark
to appease the pyres light
soot blankets my surroundings
blackening everything in sight
ashes dance down taunting
I will be the end of this place
this wretched asylum will be nothing but char
an inferno awaits
the earth will boil
by the heat of my blood
gripping tight
iron fist glowing
a nightmarish hellscape
the crucible scar
burning and burning
blackness steals my surroundings
the pyres gluttony engulfing
burning anything that will ignite
to steady the signal
breaking off bits of the bulwark
to appease the pyres light
soot blankets my surroundings
blackening everything in sight
ashes dance down taunting

On Hazy Tides
03:23

a covenant made
by passing exchange
the only certainty is oblivion
made my terms on this floating enigma
curious things falling in line
as naturally as the whispers of waves
I seek the burdens
that cause my dismay
life is but a vision
a cultivation of ideas
a currency for trade
and you
are but a thought
trading precious moments
for trinkets
for status
the comforts given
are endless
made my terms on this floating enigma
a covenant made
a passing exchange
the only certainty is oblivion
curious things falling apart
as naturally as the crashing of waves
I seek the burdens
that cause my dismay
life is but a vision
a cultivation of ideas
a currency for trade
and you
are but a thought

Drowning the Shore
02:55
|
|||
|
the rising tide creeping in
this wretched beach of forgotten sands
my reluctant home
cast beyond the horizon
shadows consuming
my narrow surroundings
the rains starts trickling in
as if weeping for me
forsaken shore
lined with empty husks
the rain dousing the land
a beginning to the end
water levels rising
the higher ground sinking
my beaten body treading
and I'm left gasping
sinking
pouring and pouring
naked intentions
malicely flaunted
this place swept away
I'm just trying to breathe
shadows consuming
my narrow surroundings
stolen away
the sky still weeping for me
I’m fighting the current
with rampant resistance
an attempt in vain
pulling me under
fierce fathoms swallowing
my spirit
darker depths flashing
pressure intensifying
dragging me to the ocean floor
