Jungle Song

The jungle's breathing the cadence a threat
 Warning me of this march of death
 Craving and cautious the night finds a way
 To sing a song that calms me
 Chalk lines are drawn around a dreamer's cause
 A search for more than I am
 Lost so long fatally flawed
 A path that now betrays me
 Where do I start and when do I end
 The trail is dead where I have been
 A stone jungle decorated in danger
 I swallow dry my throat cracks with blood
 Eyes that burn eyes that wait
 Fortunes are turned eyes that burn
 Now I burn as I become one with the earth
 Kings in the shadows not of this world
 Colourful doctors chanting unwelcome words
 These visions come and my mind slips away
 Becoming more than I am
 The night falls to the rhythm of drums
 I breathe in ash still tasting like blood
 Eyes that burn eyes that wait
 Fortunes are turned eyes that burn
 Now I burn
 Now I burn
 Now I burn
 Now I burn
