Cerulean Odyssey Four 23
hang the superstitious bastard
among the lord of flies deception
cannot land on a burning fire
shallow graves that hold no flattery
losing yet another night of bounty sleep
entertaining restless demons
flights of stairs to an empty upper room
ne stadda dab a toraba cho
within the fortress safe lies lasting hunger
the only place for times of righteousness
outside the rain drums drops of inconvenience
interpretations of a motionless sound
count a royal blood of ransom
ti de mana te dosto carriacho
watch the enemy of words inside
the echoes of a lingering accusation
brave the heart by fear association
I gave a comfort cradle to an infant
a message from the throne of love
keeping time with faith experience
che na shatora ba chamyana
a deafening harmony of stale opinions
the lot is empty no more bargains to be had
friends a well of living water
scatter all the citizens of hell
everyone a chilling mausoleum
in the cemetery of the dead
waiting for the light to blister green
