where the boneyard meets the mountain
an eroding faith survives
it thrives on hunger
feeds on swell
sustaining peace
and a beat-down pride

red and yellow
black and blue
aloud and mellow
torn and true

two steps past the world's end
an about-face exposed the lie
I stand on fabrication
thin air, and an empty sky
defeat repeat
deny

red and green
black and white
blood and envy
love and spite
