Cut it up
Set it free
This heart of mine
Can never beThe harrowing calls
Of horsemen three
Who is the fourth?
Could it be me?Is it pestilence that grows
Inside my skin so deep
Is that why I see
All the things that shouldn't be?Or maybe it's war
Thundering inside
Who wins, who knows
Its the blood I can't hideFamine, perhaps?
It aches so
The longing to feel
For something to holdFor death it cannot be
Can it, I ask?
Is that the truth
Behind this mask?I ramble on
As if it matters
As if the waves
Mourn what they shatterAs if the flame
Weeps over the corpse
Of the moth it seduced
Of the life that was lostWhat matters though
Is what lies thus
Hope and joy
Even painful trustLet them call
My horsemen 3
Let them beckon their master
For it may just be me
