I Am

I am the lord of law
The harbinger of the fall
I am the bringer of lies
The one with snake eyes

I remember everything
And that is why I must sing
I scapegoat my own heart
So that I don't fall apart

I stand in the rain
A god with a heart bleeding pain
I'm not ready to begin again
Even as my feelings are slain

Beneath a scarlet moon
I simply listen to nature's tune
Hoping reality can make sense
When I'm stuck on the fence
