Village at Merni
Village at Merni
On a day so black the moonlight scurries
From rocky crags and jagged sky
Blue tinge dispersed with auburn
Appered the Footman of denial
On a day so rot with fury
Even angels gasp a sigh
For the damaged, lonely people
Of the village
At Merni
"Not you know my carriage brought me
From the depths of Servant's throne"
For the Servant evolves the Master
And the Master stands here
All alone
On a day so entangled in intrigue
Incongruent lies abound
Appeared a boy of six or seven
In an inn
The patrons run from now
"Not you know of spectral nature
From the skies the day be nigh"
As I did once for my father
Release the souls of the entangled
At Merni
On a day so black the hedgerow shiver
Upon ample ledge and treacherous high
One by one of countless number
Leaped the expanse for Death
Here at Merni
"Go froward fine, young maiden
Cleanse thy soul of secret lies"
Burn thy must into your conscience
Like the iridescent bellies
Of fireflies
"Not shall I take another footstep
Upon this ledge my feet shall hold"
And stare into the heart of Satan
A boy who's blood runs solid
Of coldest cold
On a night so clear the moonlight dances
Upon rocky crags and calming sky
The blues give way to stardust
In the hearts and minds
Left at Merni
"Go forth this day of judged compliance
Count as victory if thy must"
But the souls you rightly taken
Will ascend as stars
As dust be dust
