The Subtlety of Sin and Sandy Shores

The Subtlety Of Sin And Sandy Shores

Bone dry and hungry
Demons feed on fire quietly below
Never satiated eating emptiness alone

Sin laps up the souls above with certainty                                                                              
Like waves licking at the sandy shore
Slowly, quietly, over time, with salt 
Consumed like lust
Lost dignity

Gone without a trace
They go to another place
Where no soul or shore should be  
Disappear in a mist of mystery
Taken out to sea
