Seal #3: Hedgehog stares behind the mountains


She said she is a victim of what changes may breed,
a fatal action, a step, for what humanity will reap when it sawed nothing/
The hermits into the void, chant the words of truce
"OUR PARENTS ARE OUR VILLAGE
AND OUR VILLAGE IS OUR WOE"
Tomorrow will bring flies and pestilence as prophets
but I will still dance today, like a yezidi
for leaves and cement trumpets
She said she is a victim of what tomorrow may bring
Like ashes raised for the crows to sing
The hermits into the void, butchered from desire
chant the same words they used to mourn above the ground
"CHANT BEHIND TOMORROW
AND TOMORROW ROARS BACK AT YOU"
Tomorrow will bring ash and debris as conquistadores
But I will still remain pure and unscathed
for tears and autumn memories
She said she is a victim of what forever may decide
Consumed above the essence and cleansed by human tide
The hermits into the void, now corpses for our wedding
their echo is the same chant they used to pray at night
"WINE SONG HONEY AND FLESH
FOR OUR FUTURE WEDDINGS
WHAT I CHANT, I CONSUME EVERY DAY
AND PRAY TO THOSE THAT CARE
FOR WHAT I COULD HAVE LOST TODAY
BUT I CLUTCH TILL TOMORROW
WE BUILD A WALL AND LET THE HAMMERS FALL DOWN
ALL EQUALS THE NAIL, AND THE NAIL HITS BACK AT YOU
FOR WHAT WE CRAVE, WE DEVOUR
AND WE CHASE AWAY WITH EARTHLY DESIRES
MAY THE BLOSSOMS PROSPER
MAY THE RIVERS SING
MAY THE TREES BEAR THE FRUITS ONCE MORE
AND MAY THE BEES SPIT OUT THEIR HONEY
WITH THEIR SONG OF TRUCE.
AMEN, OR NOT
SALUTE."
