Silverfish

Silverfish

Vae Victis!

“Vae Victis!”
Woe to the vanquished ones
Whose dreams, under the heel were crushed
Victim to the world uncaring
 
Pray now, to the soul
Deafened by the din
A babbling brook of numbing waters
And a silence louder still
 
Nod thy head in pity
For the servants that remain
Enslaved to their desires
For the conquered have no rights

Take a sip of cough syrup, It’ll keep you right as rain. Scratch at the notch, Slip on a gold watch; You won’t need to feel again.

A single spark is all it takes to… To ignite the flames of industry, To cause quite a commotion. It’s not always what’s to be seen; Some whispers can’t be heard.
