The Blood & The Bones

young warrior
heart and courage
are yours
of this
I am sure
but still
tainted already
death is painted on my eyes
like a movie
that never stops playing
even sleep is no sanctuary
for a man that’s seen too much
for now
I shall lead
I shall stand in front
just a little longer
if for nothing more
than to keep you from
dirty hands
and even dirtier sins
and your innocence
untouched

the blood &
the bones
