Darkness Voice
Darkness voice
Darkness voiced!
We are prodigal
Encaged in grief
Wandering as moon
Melancholy!
Solitude lynched our creed
Like innocent throng
Barrel Street turned abode
Beneath Odan’s womb
Rhythm agony we chant
Barrel sky wept
Poverty to drench
Bedbug betrothed skin
Filth a fragrance
Hands befriend mouth not
Bereaved dwell underneath heart
Darkness outcry
Colonized our bliss
Darkness voice
Darkness voiced!
We are prodigal
Encaged in grief
Wandering as moon
Melancholy!
Solitude lynched our creed
Like innocent throng
Barrel Street turned abode
Beneath Odan’s womb
Rhythm agony we chant
Barrel sky wept
Poverty to drench
Bedbug betrothed skin
Filth a fragrance
Hands befriend mouth not
Bereaved dwell underneath heart
Darkness outcry
Colonized our bliss
