Waters Of Death, Thy Hands Will Not Cleanse

Come now the rains, that coalesce to wash the ashes away
days of pestilence came, under the storm where ill feelings do thrive
Look upon fallen stone, look what my hand has done
behold the cities of salt, and grey despair
The Gemini speaks with twisted tongue
over and over, her mantra undone
Sand gave way to the sea, primordial torrents reclaiming the earth
Stir in the restless deep. A Priestess did rise to condemn wickedness
Look upon misfortune, look to the mirror full of regret
behold false reflection that drifts too long
The carrion floating, looked like broken reeds
the deluge inviting to swallow us all
Ring out the flood bells
For drown men tell no tales
