Ode To Fury

Bellows of pain

And scraping of chains

The echoes they taunt and deceive me

Oceans of blame

And rivers of shame

The fury it never leaves me

Grief in the snow

The winter of woe

Has come here to judge and bereave me

Lock up the rage

It rattles the cage

The fury it never leaves me

Always within

To lurk in the skin

The wounds ever aching so deeply

Try as I may

To hide it away

The fury it never leaves me

Long I’ve suffered the hunger

Long I’ve silenced the cry

Long I’ve fled from the thunder

To ascend

Still I try

To carry the pain

To keep it contained till the end

Pour out the anger and hide it away

Lest it spill to the blameless and lead them to pain

In the steel and the rags I will cover the shame

So the innocent need not be judged in my name

Long I’ve suffered the hunger

Long I’ve silenced the cry

Long I’ve fled from the thunder

To ascend

Still I try

To carry the pain

To keep it contained till the end

Bellows of pain

And scraping of chains

The echoes they taunt and deceive me

Oceans of blame

And rivers of shame

The fury it never leaves me
