Promethean


Blood once so divine bled on the rocks, 
my lifeless corpse left for the beats 
In your mind memory of me had already started to fade 

Embraced to death, but never released, 
all that she wept didn't much help 
It's so unfair wasn't their fault 
since she was born all went just wrong 

Crimson light, blinding my eyes 
how futile and small it makes me feel 
Feverish dream, like flesh covered with flies a weeping hayfield, 
yet still so real 

No sleeping pills taken tonight 
memories they live painful and bright 
Like a ghost in her gown, waiting for dawn. 
In her suite where the ghostlike ones meet 

Crimson light, blinding my eyes 
how futile and small it makes me feel 
Feverish dream, like flesh covered with flies a weeping hayfield, 
yet still so real
