A String of Ears

Line after line Round after round Empty shells Fall to the ground City after city Mound after mound To collapse Without a sound Wrist after wrist Clang of shackles ring Closing veins Soon to shepard in Prophet after prophet Hymn after hymn Bridging mountains- Hear the slaves sing Song after song Sorrow after sorrow Sullen hearts No wish for tommorow Ashen after ember Row after row Mouth of War To gape an' swallow Father after father Son after son Familial lines So come undone A string of ears One after one Sucked into gravity Of Hells forgotten sun A string of fears On and on... Round and round... Mound after mound... Hear the slaves sing As empty shells Fall to the ground
