I weigh the broken crown against the starling
Its cries were thin, they echoed across the dark
The balance shifts, the kingdom now discarding
The pages of forgotten hierarchs
I weigh hopes against the stones of sorrow
The balance tips, and thoughts descend anew
A sail into an ocean of tomorrows
I sing the hymn, the words are frail and few
Condemned within the iris of the pain
And there a holy shame
Condemned within the iris of the pain
And then the oceans drain
The smoke is thick, the glow on the horizon
The fires are approaching from the west
The die is cast, the finger screws are tightened
The ceiling falls upon the dispossessed
