The Civil Wars

Tis dreams of everlasting calm

The maelstrom of the hidden Kraken

Just within the evolving palm

Finding death before we awaken

The first chapter is never life

It’s much later that we are found

After the friends, after the wife.

It is then we’re forever bound

The civil war within the home

Just three small steps out of our view

Destined we, forever to roam

And I pay the bad man his due

The sentiment is just the same

Forever, hallowed be thy name
