Lex Talionis

Akercocke

A moment when reason 
Has gone astray 
Suspended by threads 
That begin to fray 
What I’ve seen I can’t forget 
Yet the World keeps turning 
Am I left without regret 
An eye for an eye 
Hollowed apathy 
Weakened will 
Emotional Mendicants 
Blood to spill 
It is folly to accept 
These deeds unchanging 
When it’s your turn to reflect 
You’ll too late realize 
A moment when reason 
Has gone astray 
Suspended by threads 
That begin to fray
