shai hulud - to bear the brunt of many blades lyrics
nothing that breathes is above betrayal.
nothing that breathes is divine.
–
out from the shadows, well-wisher.
the gleam of your blade gives you away.
drawn from me, my smiling -ss-ssin,
meet the blood that moved you-
the blood of encouragement
spilling as common water.
they will serve you…
long live the king.
soak up to your arms in his blood.
long live the king;
they will serve you well.
and you loyal friend, leave an ice pick in my neck as it were mine to keep.
how terribly cold.
–
i breathe, and count my shallow breaths.
add another edge: be sure to twist the blade.
if come one, come all of this, a celebration of treachery and scissored flesh.
fall in, stain your steel in festive red-
here, where the sheep are butchers.
a fresh patch of skin to pierce,
one cannot resist.
–
unsteady steps.
each waning, determined for purchase.
i am he who falters, stricken with one thousand blades.
with unsteady steps, i find my balance in deception.
step by burning step.
warm in the presence of malice.
barefoot among a skulk of men.
eyes ahead and taller still,
i never look back.
no.
i knew not your names.
i knew your numbers.
i knew you all too well.
–
two blades for every inch of flesh.
ensanguined.
this is that which did not kill me.
there’s always room for one more blade…
not much a sight for sore eyes,
the harrowed form of living will:
bent,
and black,
and so terribly cold.
there’s always strength for one last breath.
