Fertile Crescent Lyrics

a circle trodden overlong · the child grows weary of wanderlust · of earth-blacked feet that bleed · through split heels · the hunter longs for hearth-fire · to set aside his spear · a stone's throw from flesh · hold fast · they will return with viler claws · and teeth that drip with lust for hairless skin · and bone that reeks of grain · in the guise of man · seeds sown to be swollen · so savage and pure · to birth the narrative · toward the sun we turn · to graze her blight · the coming of our age· a lie · retched and filtered through · cowards bent in desperate mirth · run · cleave to the darkest corners · the blackest rooms · the hardest stones · pull your rots · from the nourishing soil · you'll need them no more
