The Ruby - Barren Earth

Long lost

I’ve feared to meet those eyes

And I might only reach that level

In tatters

Flow recollected

Scraped out of soil

(No sides) There appear to be no sides to take

And skywards points the ruby

Concealing codes (codes unrepaired)

That harbour the way out

(This void) Oh I wish there was something at stake

These voices cracked the ruby

What codes (code retraced)

Could harbour the way out of this

A chance to falter

A loss without dissent

One step towards the distant ravine

Carnal honour wreathed in toxin

Vile by design

(No sides) There appear to be no sides to take

And skywards points the ruby

Concealing codes (codes unrepaired)

That harbour the way out

(This void) Oh I wish there was something at stake

These voices cracked the ruby

What codes (code retraced)

Could harbour the way out of this

We, the righteous two

From one to another

Sever this jagged shard

Borne in the spiteful red

(No sides) There appear to be no sides to take

And skywards points the ruby

Concealing codes (codes unrepaired)

That harbour the way out

(This void) Oh I wish there was something at stake

These voices cracked the ruby

What codes (code retraced)

Could harbour the way out of this
