Ley Lines
I navigate the lines,
stand silently on the cross of Leys;
the slow flow of blood pulsing
deep beneath my feet.
Power surging through me;
From North to South. The East, the West.
From deep below and from
the highest point above.
Cold steel in my hand;
hot metal through my heart.
All time lost.
I am the past, the now;
those that have been,
those yet to come.
I am the killer
and the killed.
I stand silently on the cross of Leys;
the wind blows around me,
and yet, through me
after whistling by the ancient trees;
passing bodies on the fields;
carrying upon its wings
the murmurs of departed souls.
Laying lines;
forever etched on mortal land;
between castles of the kings
and deep, dark caves
of those accused of casting spells.
