Shades

We're, if at all, slaves to a pawn caught in a cautious lie
 If at all, staggering weightless haggard stained cynical
 It all tastes sweet
 Leave me to sway here, if at all
 Listing ageless
 Wait, wait and see
 Come here to rest
 And then cosset the crows
 Who murder the raven
 And those who cast the losing die
 Leave me to sway here, if at all
 Listing ageless
 Wait
 Trace these suicide shades
 Uncovered through this pious lullaby
 Praise to suffer
 While we brace ourselves
 Shaking hands on the alter
 See these paths to their end
 Through the pulse of hate
 And now walking along the earth
 It always turns inward
 To let their souls writhe
 Silting softly it is wanting
 Hate
 Trace these suicide shades
 Uncovered through this pious lullaby
 Pray and suffer
