Unto Ashes

Scourge

Unto Ashes


Submerged and magnified, 
My image tortured 
Stretched through underwater glass long and cruelly curved 
Stretched through underwater glass long and cruelly curved 

Foreign to the waters, 
My face is filled with blood 

As I drown, dragged from ocean to ocean 
As I drown, dragged from ocean to ocean 

Oh joyless joy, to feel the stripes, salted bloody cross my back 
Oh joyless joy, to feel the stripes, salted bloody cross my back 

And trembling there...
