From The Grave
Digging, Clawing, Without Even Knowing
Digging, clawing, without even knowing
She’s deeper in than ever before
Darkest depths this love bent breath
Underneath an earthly spell
Of the earth she is not
Yet underground is where she got
Crusted earth, dusty dirt, this is her daily hearth
Digging in, the easiest thing
Getting out, whereabouts, does she want to?
Tempted by that light, shining bright
The heat of Sol so warm
Yet when the sun goes down, left forlorn
Cosy in this space, no more showing face, what better place?
To hide? To abide? My Lord, he surely strives...
To keep hold of me, down here, in his wake
All I do to fight it, or escape, leads back to this stake
The stake I am bound to in place
Destined this way for eternity
Lifetimes past, future perpetually
A Warm Place – this underground dwelling
No more emotional swelling
Folks no longer coming near
To blur the lines, make unclear
Or is this merely stemmed in fear?
Duality, life and death – both are needed, both a must
In this existence, who can I trust?
Not myself, hell no, never
I know that much, to be that clever
Bordering and hanging over the edge
Dying to fall, drop off the ledge
Temptations harder still
As pretty flesh and tasty swill
Devils honey tastes so sweet
Should I give in? Admit defeat?
Self destructive f*cking bleat!!
Hekate! This crossroads I can’t seem to pass
What is it, which has hold of me at last?
Call this balance?
Equal light and dark, yes it’s Solstice – Yule
A time for love, family, not gruel or a brawl
Back down the rabbit hole I slither
A Lilith’s daughter a’shiver
Rattling my tail as I go
To where I do not know
Do not know, where to go
Up or down, underneath
Crawling out of this meat
Or racing south the downward spiral in defeat.
