Harvester

Anger to which I’ve grown A friend, to me my own The fear comes creeping close To claim me as its host I’m scared, I’m mad Pining for what I had Offered, stolen in haste Makes me think it’s all a waste Safety, future Sacrificed unto her Harvester of sorrow Beside myself with fear Paranoid beyond belief Anticipating the thief To come and take away What has stolen so many days Shut up, lay down A king without his crown Has now become my shell Inside this painful hell The blade, it swings As they try to kill this king Harvester of sorrow Beside myself with fear I’m locked inside this cage Fermenting hideous rage Mercy, please let me out Don’t want to scream and shout Anger, misery These things have become me Please hold me close to your chest And let me finally rest My love, tell me Why have you forsaken me? Harvester of sorrow Beside myself with fear
