the contract

by Matthias L. - Capricorn

Withered remains of the contract
Undone a thousand years ago
Writing it down for perfection
Summoned back into my world

In a language only I am able to understand
Endless rain washes away the writings
on the signposts of the past before that time,
The years of conscious thought endangered
the way of the hunt, pray to the idols
Abandoned to live

I know you couldn't try
Proceeding with frozen limbs through marshland
Contorting fate for the prisoners
So torn apart, live in my madness

A fate beyond any innate control
Empty spaces refilled with the juice of tomorrow
Wisemen of late raising voice
Intoxicated by a lack of oxygen

And the darkness, a memory of childhood
Unknown to whoever would protect you
Incubates the dream you had lived
Before the world became crystalline

Gathering thoughts to be put into form
Brainwashed need to perform our existance
Youthless raving, a part so much longer
The final stone is not me

Sucking out each letter from a certain god
A taste that no one could ever resist
The years of lust, no name proves a reason to stop
Lost on the way of perpetual failing the test
Pray to my idols to live.
