Long Time Dead

Rain twists shapes and hisses fear

I kiss my tears as the ground disappears

White stones fall down from the sky

Black storm clouds groan and then they start to cry

Live while you are living because you are a long time dead

Rats in rhythm and snakes in tongues

Mud flakes and fungus are coating my lungs

Squash the doubt mankind washed out

Without machines without a prayer we cannot prepare

Fire on frost tired and lost the city into the sea is tossed liars cost mired and scoffed

Screaming pleas as mother earth breathes

Throw away the trees blow away the breeze

Live while you are living because you are a long time dead

Give while you are living share with me what is in your head

Sea to rising sea grey solar light

Wicked winds churning up the polar night

All living things under leaves gasp

Water heaves fast a feat a task beliefs are smashed a patch of grass to feed I ask

Gods wallop shatter the world at will thinning the herds with a flush to spill

All that matters scattered in the swill all that matters not enough still
