The Glass Spire Redux

My cause born of struggle Fuelled by hope for us We must groom them into ones we trust Foundation laid into the stone The ash will dance around our homes One to two and two to three One brings a wound and two bring seed Persistent walls keep spreading out The roots sink deep into the ground Dare I say community A greening pasture that I'm to lead Maybe it's the way that he speaks The words comes dripping from his teeth My precious earth They do not deserve How quickly they forget When a thought gets planted in their heads "I break my back to serve the weak But I am strong they should serve me" I speak with him I plead with him Blood will stain Our home Useless pain You will not feel You waste your days Tracing lines You cannot break My mind This is how it ought to be This is how it needs to be You made the point to show us yours So I will show my teeth Currents carry on my song Even if I bleed Bleed and fall and burn This is how it ought to be This is how it needs to be I see you blowing on the embers Nothing more The remnants of the flame that brought Brought the war
