Far from lands spent and wasted

where the last survivors walk

searching for some reverence among broken shadows

Fragments of a prophecy are handed down

eyes searching in blackness for some story

to explain the downward spiral

and the longing for flame

that comes crawling out of open mouths

Voices screaming give sound to the shadowed

lost and searching for some hope of flesh and blood

within the grasp of woodland song

every step carrying further into the valley

Far from the path and searching

for a way back that lies swallowed by the trees

If you’ve seen any good movies recently, I would love some recommendations!
