The Knot of Sin
by me

Tie the string of Life

To the string of death

Shortest always life

longest always death

Born, my soul darkened by light

Born, my soul glowing at night

Darkness settles on the land
Knife settles into hand
Blade settles into skin
Blood settles into sin.

Found a place to run and hide

A place 6 feet under ground

Not a shame that I died

My sin was laid all around.
