Faith Unkind

The sky weeps
And we’re all oblivious 
For the wolves drink the wine
Whilst the sheep seek lush pastures in bush fires.

No words are said just howling in the distance 
The ritual of of the black knight begins

For his tongue is made of vipers 
His prowess is of cold steel 
Yet his spirit is dead and knows no remorse 

The sky speaks yet no one understands 
And the pure of heart gave up up on their demands. 

Thunder strikes and smiths the wrong 
An avenging wave of notes into song 

So cast your faith into the fire 
Rise up and seek what you admire
for nation build on pillars of sand
Cannot withstand the weight of the land
