Pompeii (Manifesto II)

Watch from afar as the veil tears
Embracement of self, not in a million years
A life so vain that this crime feels tenderly
But to linger is to give guns to the enemy

Ashes from better times
Wondering what it means
Black tied on both arms
Step aside for uncertainty
Ashes from better times
Wondering what it means
For you
For me
For this

What has been rotting
Something I have not forgotten
Fingers like claws around these bottles
Till the last drop make you straggle

Ashes from better times
Wondering what it means
Black tied on both arms
Step aside for uncertainty
Ashes from better times
Wondering what it means
For you
For me
For this
