There’s someone in the space between the trenches
a voice of wild thunder over devastation
coming closer closer closer
beauty in the midst of nightmare and decay
These killing fields are an altar
and the sacrifice ready for cleansing fire
speaks to me of solitude
whispered dreams of some shadow overhead
a hand closed on the throat of the world
and an eye turned to ritual
ready for the match to strike
and to breathe in scattered ashes on the wind

Those ashes promise a new life I think.
