One Step Closer

Cover yourself behind the trees or
The crows will feed off your dying hand
The blood scent entices the beast
Send your prayers to the wounded man
Who would have thought
Love making
Newborn crawling
Children walking
Bodies dropping
One step closer to the end
Hear the river crack the banks
She will come to you as a memory
Smell her photograph, one last time
Let the past comfort you now, it’s time
Who would have thought
I won’t take your eyes today
I know the blind can hear me better
But you’ll need them. you will breathe once again
The world is yours to live another day
Who would have thought
Love making
Newborn crawling
Children walking
Bodies dropping
One step closer to the end
One step closer to seeing you again
