Summary:
Penned this one over the past two nights. It's repetitive which lends itself to lyrical possibilities. Basically just thinking out loud as usual. Be safe out there folks. Appreciate you. - Damian DeadLove

Half-past midnight on a winding road

Limited visibility in this blanket of fog

High stakes guilt for a debt still owed

Witness stifled at the bottom of a bog

 

Somewhere between living and dying

Where routines are locked into memory

Invading privacy so deliberately prying

Pounded into powder polished in emery

 

Rumors start spreading out of control

Soulless men feast on innocent blood

Empty vessel unable to ever be whole

Time falls quickly with a sickening thud

 

Somewhere between living and dying

Where routines are locked into memory

Invading privacy so deliberately prying

Pounded into powder polished in emery

 

After all the nightmares planted doubt

While spinning a web thick with deceit 

It’s only in light will hope guide us out

Snatch victory from the jaws of defeat

 

Somewhere between living and dying

Where routines are locked into memory

Invading privacy so deliberately prying

Pounded into powder polished in emery

    1. Ingenious write, Damian. That third stanza packs a lightning fast, tower crumbling wallop. It is a boulder through stained glass and I admire the talent apparent throughout. Clever poem, my friend, the potential for an intensely epic song is here.

      wishing you well
