An Intimation, a sign of things to come Summoned forth by ancient bloodshed Hopeless, an inevitable end to it all Maculating azure skies. In this I once had clarity And the very thing I took for granted Reveals itself as a burden on my shoulders I lift my wailing to the blackening skies But I fear it falls on deaf and indifferent ears. Why have I been chosen to deliver them? They hate me, they taunt me My words are returned with a shower of needles Take your holy spirit away frome me not For it is all I have left My dignity and pride have been cast to the dirt And the spirit is all that ignites my courage Punish me not for the sins of my fathers For they were your sons as well Lay low the hurdle before me So that I may overcome my shame and transgressions And drive deep the thorn in the side of his wretched manipulation.
