Rotten Heart
You torched a fire without a matchstick
You searched the high seas without a compass
Little did I know the puzzles you hid
A treasure without a map
I have looked endlessly through ageless times
Like withering roses and valley of thrones
The dark age secrets of ancient tradition
Stabbed with a knife of rotten heart
All for the grains of gold and jewels
Though none will belong to us
As we lay frozen in the graves for generations
Just dust and dirt to fill our nation.
