Minerva's Spawn...(Jack?)

[Cogidubnus]

Chorus
The shadow chorus mock my ear
with tongues that sing no more,
the haunting strains I barely hear
yet feel I can't ignore.

Song
I am a whisper, something said,
mere echoes down the ages,
and if the singing's in my head
just turn the bloody pages...

I am the unborn, living dead,
I crawl the crystal cages,
the blindman's guide, the bleeder bled
to pay the weavers wages...

Envoi
My bed is a bier, my body has bled,
a wreath of destruction lies over my head,
rejected, dejected, and covered in shame,
Legion's my loving, my lust...and my name...

Reprise
I await the cutter of threads

What is this? Did you write it or is it from something else? Interesting.

Hi Barbara

Alas it's my own... no-one else to blame...it wasn't actually written with Jack in mind, but seems (in my mind anyway!) to fit nonetheless...

All the best
