Scar

(for two-person whispered/murmured chant)


[table= Where the flesh is ripped ||| (Where the cut still bleeds)
From the wounds of war |||
Where the skin is whipped ||| (And the corpses lay)
To settle a score |||
|||
Where the cut still bleeds ||| (Where the sky turns grey)
And the skin turns black |||
And no one heeds ||| (Where the skin is whipped)
Another knife in the back |||
|||
Where the sky turns grey ||| (For this is my laughter)
From the floating ash |||
And the corpses lay ||| (And no one heeds)
Among the fallen trash |||
|||
|||
Here you will find me ||| (Here is the answer)
Here is my soul |||
The scars that bind me ||| (When I'm able to see)
Make this hell hole |||
|||
Here you will find me ||| (Here is the answer)
Here is the lie |||
When I'm able to see ||| (When no one heeds)
Then I'm ready to die. |||
|||
|||
Ravage the Virgin ||| (Prey in your churches)
And burn down the Cross |||
And then try to laugh in ||| (And no one heeds)
The face of this loss |||
|||
For this is my laughter ||| (This is my poison)
And this is my curse |||
Hidden in rafters ||| (Secrets unfolded)
And poisonous verse |||
|||
The wounds that I've taken ||| (The borders of darkness)
Will fade to thin lines |||
The will is not shaken ||| (And no one can read)
By portents and signs |||
|||
|||
For here you will find me ||| (Reach in the darkness)
And here is my soul |||
The scars that define me ||| (Search in your heart and)
Suggest a dark goal |||
|||
When this is my laughter ||| (Sing a new song, for)
The light feels the curse |||
And old venom sets ||| (One baleful eye)
Her sights on much worse |||
|||
Here you will find me ||| (Here is the laughter)
Now is the time |||
When time is unfolding ||| (Here is the song)
In dark faceless rhyme.|||]

... repeat until insanity sets in ...
