House of Cadmus

Bloodline fallacies

Wreathe the soul that I call who I am

Lead on while ravens watch

Hungrily eyeing their prey

In a forest drenched in haze

Endlessly barring my way

Threads become stained

Weaving thoughts into blades

That cry for release in the night

A protector's song by the bard of barbs

Damning each breath that we take

The curse in my veins

This is the spectre that crawls through my dreams

Blasphemy born in my marrow

A lineage broken and torn at the seams

Now stripped down and chained

I burn the remains

Threads become stained

Weaving thoughts into blades

That cry for release in the night

They're a jailor's song

Of abuse in its arms

And fears that I'm bound to this fate

The curse in my veins

I repent

I see the machinations of torment glowing beneath the moon

With mouths of broken glass they rend my flesh and herald my doom

Cleave the body from my former

Render the past incomplete

I would end this to disown it

Leave it bleeding by the sea
