Amidst brothers at war

The sound of a cease-fire captivates

Remove the tourniquet

Let the red run slow

Restraints unshackled

The taste of blood will be known

The insatiable vice

Eye for an eye

Can’t be denied

Violence beckons a body

To sink its teeth into

Past trembling hands

A surrogate comes

Gather the kindling

The dead for the living

Bound alive, my hatred on display

The innocent bеast

Becomes the ravеnous feast

At the banquet of vitriol and revenge

And as we swallow

The bitterness follows

The taste for blood finally subsides

Stricken by horror as I strike the offering

Rise up, take the knife from the father

Hand in hand, together we’ll slaughter it

The thicket becomes an ellipse

This ravenous anger, wholly eclipsed

Fratricide drains from its body

Not a drop remains of animosity

Sink your teeth into the ram in the thicket

And sharing your brother’s smile
