In the pathways
Of the learning
Of the flight.
Cheveyo guides us
Home by morning
Gone by night.

Within these forgotten pathways
We know not our
Broken hearts.
Good crow, tell me
Are we sleeping
In this land apart.

Down these ancient backroads
We have carved a false
Existence.
One we shall never know.
Against these truths
Our resistance
'Going home.

Mark me up
Another pain shed
Promise.
For this is how you say.
Bow my head
Unholy guises;
What they call it as I pray.

Sick of hearing
People preaching
The bible's 'Good Law.'
As they turn 'round
Always reaching
For what they know
Is wrong.

Mark me up and call it sin
But this I know is true.
Beneath this pulsing
Hura's skin
We are something new.

And we are soldiers
Who gave up cause.
Because we found
Our contradictions
Had no laws.
Because we found
That fallen heroes
Are sent to die.
And now we know
Just why.

Because Warriors
Of a Forgotten Cause
Have turned against
Their belief.
They're pointless laws.
What a relief,
We're gone.

An unknown nation
Rising with the wind
Falling with the sun.
And just as we're,
On the roam,
We run.
Nowhere
Home.

In the pathways
Of the learning
Of the flight.
Cheveyo guides us
Home by morning
Gone by night.

Down these ancient backroads
We have carved a false
Existence.
One we shall never know.
Against these truths
Our resistance
'Going home.

An unknown nation
Rising with the wind
Falling with the sun.
And just as we're,
On the roam,
We run.
Nowhere
Home.

Another one of those random spurs. I think the title could have just as equally been 'Going Home' or 'Home Is Nowhere' but my original idea for this was to be 'Unknown Nation' So really, I screwed up the purpose of this <|-.-|> Again. Always...

*Metaphorical Meaning Here* What was the metaphorical meaning of this all? Well I'd rather make you think because thinking is good. But I'll do some briefs. The 'ancient back roads' are to symbolize the modernize dire ways. 'Ancient pathways' are basically the spiritual beliefs we still choose to take. The 'Bible's 'Good Law'' 'cause I'm always hearing people yelling at me that anything that goes against the Bible is sin, yet they turn around and then do everything they just said not to do. 'Mark me up and call it sin' refers to the marking process which is often mistaken for masochism and such looked on with shame when really it is a ritual promise. 'Soldiers who gave up cause' means the people that once believed in something only later to discard that because they couldn't find meaning in it. Cheveyo is of the Crow's Divinity/ the spirit of true guidance. Beneath Hura's Skin basically means a Therian. And the 'Unknown Nation'? Figure that out yourself. :evillaugh:

A pidgeon seems so ordinary, and a dove so beautiful, but did you know they are the same thing?
