Face veiled beneath clasped fingers Ochre stained butcher's hands A knotted web of callus and cicatrix There is a lonely house Unrestful on an unsettled foundation Spring rains burden its lumber Nails erupt from swelling planks Emerging iron flowers tear and rend prying hands Driving winds pelt rain against skin Erodes resolve, dissolves will To sink nails where they rightfully place A private hell of repetition Emerging iron flowers tear and rend prying hands
Butcher's hands Ochre stained Knotted web Callus and cicatrix There is a lonely house Unrestful on an unsettled foundation Spring rains burden its lumber Nails erupt from swelling planks Emerging iron flowers Tear and rend prying hands Driving wind pelts rain against skin Erodes resolve, dissolves will To sink nails where they rightfully place A private hell of repetition Emerging iron flowers Tear and rend prying hands
Modern day Sisyphus Rolling a boulder uphill Remaking tower of Babel in my own image Driving wind pelts rain through my skin Erodes resolve dissolves will In ochre stained butcher's hands Face veiled beneath clasped fingers Ochre stained butcher's hands Knotted web of callus and cicatrix Hands to bind Hands to undermine These Hands that Pluck Are not my own A modern day Tantalus Reaching for the vine The blood that spills Is that of the Earth But the hunger is mineTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
