people of the sky

(i once knew a pair

that used to fit very tight

but now a man's standing tall

in the wake of this night

his eyes are watering in anger

at the thought of her sight

the scene of adultery

sets the stage for his plight)

on an innocent trip

how can one ruin so much

a belief in a soul

in a beauty

or in a touch

it's like a three-legged dog

in search of a crutch

dissecting in past

all the motives of such

she once loved this person in a trial

out of sight

disposing of the present situation

it felt right

two winters and summers

passed over like a sound

and now the two of them are lost

in a screaming battleground

with support all around him

like a fence or a drink

he realizes in sadness

that now he must begin to think

to filter his energy

upon losses and fame

she'll think of the restful

the peaceful

or the gain

his sister's a friend

she's like a relative to both

obliged to her brother

under silhouetted oath

but she's there for the two

with her bias undone

and she'll help see it through

under moonlight or sun

but today they've still yet

to look each other in the eye

and in a second he manages to dip

to the other side

up to the people of the sky

and now he'll never die
