Outside town
There's a strange light
A man who never knew silk
With a silk-born hide beast
Ignores the bite of winter
Knees down
To praise His might
A man of that ilk
Never closed his fist
In his heart
There's not a
Single splinter
He's here for
A new start
A rise from cinder
The time has come
To go after them
Show 'em the way to the promised land
Follow the ones that don't look you in the eye
'cause they already know that you're an angel
In disguise
I went inside the town
People hellbent on spiraling down
As far as the eye can see
I won't look away
My gaze is meant to flay
Those I can take with me
Save them I must
From the wasteland of eternal dust
The pilgrim sent me in the fortress of lost cause
I can't see me overcoming this sense of
Nausea and shrivel that basks in the cold mud
When they see my footprints
When they hear my steps
Quick they run inside
And play blind
And play deaf
Trying to hide their soul
From its impending death
Locked are all the doors
And even more so the hearts
The pilgrim has gone
His eyes gazing upon the moon
Blinked no more at noon
He was buried alone
His companion left with a task to fulfil
But one fine day
Their shells begin to crack
The runner slows their pace
The guilty doesn't turn their face
And now the ears of the deaf
Are open to listening
The blind opens the eyes
As the sweeping of my tail
Talks the wind into an early dawn
And the bell welcomes the sun
With a strike of hope
But out of fear
They fed their guest
Disguised as the Lord
With prayers as tangible
As the sin that lurks
In the morning mist
The devil has come
To join the feast
While the idolized beast
Grows fat on the throne
I went inside the town
And never left alive
I dared to disturb the hive
While the queen was going down
Kindness
Is their sting
Blind again, but to the thing
That drags their soul underground
With you, my friend
A bitter-sweet end
Another hole into the ground
Reunited are
The pilgrim
And the hound
