Tempest Red:
.
Red
blood red rubies, shining bright
fall to the ground, the gentle rain
red is all I see
crimson, scarlet, vermilion
red
the color of the 
sunset sky
The sky, the wind
sunset falls
freedom is found 
then swiftly lost
I have learned to love
freedom, with
a love that has burned
too bright and gone 
too soon
Iron tendrils, silver wire
spinner-silk on sighing wings
a thousand eyes
a thousand lives
connected, trapped in
a thousand threads
of a silver spider's strands
We are lost
Canker sores, colloidal spores
bruised flesh and tautened skin
I see him
madness throbs in
eye and claw, spilt
crimson blood brings no mercy
no mercy for a dying throat
no mercy
water
water
please
mercy
Lightning flash
thunder roar
the blessing of rain
but it is too far
it is nothing but echoes 
in the dark
and the quiet
and so
a promise is
broken
Why do you wait?
Why do you wait?
The blood queen asks,
her knife sharp smile rends
flesh and bone
blood and sand run
together, becoming one
She smiles, cuts
a thousand flames
a thousand lives
flicker and 
die
Madness in my grasp
I hold him still
silence
a moment of peace in
a dying world
we stand together
here and now,
forever
and I give him
mercy
But of course mercy is 
not enough
it was 
never enough
shatter
bone
not mercy
The blood queen laughs
hatred curls in empty heart
flicker and die
nothing but red
nothing but blood
jagged silver spinner-silk
shattering the sunset sky
red is all i see
blood is all i am
The queen smiles
a thousand lives
flicker
i cradle madness in my arms
i watch daylight fade
from his eyes
the sunset is here
the night has come for him
and gone
never to return
it is gone
he is gone
no water
The queen smiles
a thousand flames
die
I look at her
she with her eyes like knives
she, the murderess
not me
scarlets eyes are 
only empty
shatter
bone
this is
not mercy
life is
not mercy
so I tell her
I wish this was
you.
