Habea Corpus

A-light the funeral pyre
Ignite a visceral flame
Unbound the cleansing torrent
Give your vengeance aim

Signal to the heavens
The crucible is set
Pay the price of fidelity
Distance all regret

Stir the shadows to violence
Tell the stars that they
Will envy you, as they do
The bright and glorious day

Yet you are on the footfall
Behind when you should lead
Grasping to the emptiness
That aligns itself with greed

Who can be your lighthouse
If your eyes are closed
Can you claim the resurrection
Lost inside the cold

Of the gutless falls that end
Only when you break
Enjoin your Destiny then
And shatter it with fate.
