Cotton Strands

Ten fierce soldiers Marched through the driving rain Hearts set on bloody vengeance Without a face or name They had poison on their breath Saw him walking Encircled him like prey Left him in oil, and blood, and tears Till darkness turned to day Does this satisfy your hunger then, my friends? Over and over The thread never unwinds Multi-colored cotton strands Are looped and intertwined What kind of answers do you expect to find? Early woken By voices in the wire Body broken The pieces in the fire And you tend the embers still Over and over The thread never unwinds Multi-colored cotton strands Are looped and intertwined What kind of answers do you expect to find?
