The Cage

You think your strong
A mountain that can’t be moved
But your empire is revolting
And crashing beneath

You demand silence
But society has a different tone
The beast corrupts the gold
And all becomes silver

Yellow belly defector
Sleep sweat in a cemetery
Rusty knives announce the night

Haunts you again
Though memories flicker
Remember those who lived there

Her eye is bruised
But the beauty never cries
She won’t give you another victory
Rises from the dirt again

Latch is unlocked
And the scorn now hunt
Led by a woman turned specter
Her heart no longer yours

Yellow belly defector
Sleep sweat in a cemetery
Rusty knives announce the night

Haunts you again
Though memories flicker
Remember those who lived there

Caged in the deep
You gaze upon all you lost
Heavy bricks weighed
Friends to keep

Sometimes
Dreams do return
Back when you had teeth
Now none at all
