Piper’s Call

Shadows groan to greet the one
Looked over, come undone
Slip inside the quiet forsaken
Plumb the fortress walls erected
Razed and leveled, taken for granted
Hover over, unresurrected

Awake, join arms
With the reaper
Calling out
Culling down
Meet the maker

One weeping robin
Resting weary on the windowsill
Take flight, you’re passed over
Frightened, frozеn still

Be on your way
The piper’s calming call, shakеn and alone
Begging to make haste
Be on your way, you’re coming home
Follow up until the fall
One life never played, feet nailed to stone
One promise never paid
Our forebearers’ fault, you’re coming home

Long-forgotten
Burned out son
All armor and borders
Anchor and boundaries

Be on your way
The piper’s calming call, shaken and alone
Begging to make haste
Be on your way, you’re coming home
Follow up until the fall
One life never played, feet nailed to stone
One promise never paid
Our forebearers’ fault, you’re coming home

Awake, join arms
With the reaper
Reanimate
Sick and spurned souls
Delve in deeper
