Destinies Child Chained

Searing flames within hissing steam burns letting the dragons out in frozen time cold stone winds blow into the desert sands of illusions etched Dark and feral holding immeasurable promises held captive under those that are never completely met right freedom and forgiveness denied cries from an impenetrable heart Hatred is the twisted short sided vulture of the virtues incomplete confidence expressed in a waning moon Tears of ivory silk burning salted spiced Cries forever inside chambers weeping wall’s taken far away into discoveries path were limitations and love never coexist Endless beginnings take centrefold in a staged arena otherworldly visions of a life re-imagined scarcely believed in a sealing ritual sacrifice, sacred temple of another is played outcast Vibrant scalding primal evil colors paint the blood truth boldly endurance can no longer be silence issued through the sun’s warm radiance Illuminati exposed Co written by Donna Loughman and Liam McDaid unrhymed tercets
