The Toll

Vineyards grow Beside a meadow A whitewashed wall A little piece of home A peaceful den Where worries forgotten A happy place Where nothing could happen Vacant road Now overburdened Dragging weight Of hope uncertain A lost few Found life in dark A violent crew No where to start Pillage insight Eyes shine with glee Inside laid hope Helps fill the empty Steals drawn Sights set Vicious hunger The beasts never rest
