Keith's Lament

Shadows crawl on sandy floors

Bloodied hands that keep the score

Paradise feels like a game

Sunset burns but hides the shame

Keith’s cry echoes through the trees

Chains of fear

But where’s the key

Lost in the dark where the beasts won't sleep

This island holds my soul to keep

Mirrors lie

They play pretend

Can’t tell foe from so-called friend

Fallen skies with stormy bite

Truth is sharper than the night

Keith’s cry echoes through the trees

Chains of fear

But where’s the key

Lost in the dark where the beasts won't sleep

This island holds my soul to keep

Burn the mask

Dissolve the sham

No escape from this cursed land

Eagle watching

Talons tight

Can’t run wild without a fight

Broken minds and fractured time

Madness grips

A twisted rhyme

Whispered secrets haunt the ground

Hopeless hopes still spin around
