slumber has refused to grace my door

god has turned his eyes away from me

mercy mocks me, i hear my ears ringing

melodies unheard to the crowd flood my world like Nile's benevolence

i see her shadow everywhere, pain poking me like a spear of Mars

it overwhelms me to find her in arms of another

but that's her destiny, she is a priestess of love,

i cannot worship her all alone,

her blessings belong to every man in town.
