Only Devil's Own Hears Each Useless Cry
Only Devil's Own Hears Each Useless Cry
The many that fool the common lot,
overshadow the few that race for good:
I think they know Time takes all they got
yet love to be splinters in the stained wood.
Although short are days of their malice:
Long will be days of burning fire.
No saving reprieve or kiss of silver chalice
can quench the thirst of Justice's raging desire.
In the Time of long laughs and futile treasures
every shadow watches and holds a memory.
All to bequeath cuts in equal measures,
based upon each ones walk in dark history.
When the false Stream finally runs dry
there, only devil's own hears each useless cry.
