Shadow of the Flame
Look into the Afterglow
Into the woods we went to build a fire
The starless sky revealed no ounce of light
A spark of flint was set upon our pyre
The flames appeared to make the sky ignite
To watch the blaze was quite a lovely sight
Strands of flame creating each new sha-dow
Trying to win an everlasting fight
We sit and watch with front seats to the show
The fire will die and so, we too must go
But wait and watch and you could maybe see
The figure left inside the afterglow
If light and dark combined to set you free
Unload yourself of all the heavy weight
It’s you who gets to choose your side of fate

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."
