Inviting Rivers - Runescarred

I am he who speaks to cowards

I whisper in their ears

Asking what it is they desire

And gifting only fear

Tablets know me, my words are etched

Unyielding and forever carved

Fathers hear me, their children fear me

I have painted their scars

Prostrate at this bank of tears

Quenching this thirst with everything you’ve feared

Ruby streams and rusted dreams

Are everything that came to me

A vision being of a world I’ll have you know

I am the floodgate, cast my mandate to

Deflagrate the thankless ingrates

Invite your rivers to flow

We are me, this is how you know me

My words pour from your face

A distant mind, a nearer echo

A spirit without a trace

This is mine;

a darker man

You are an ocean of ghosts

You are we, we guide your voice

A perfect and malleable host

Prostrate at this bank of tears

Quenching this thirst with everything you’ve feared

Ruby streams and rusted dreams

Are everything that came to me

A vision being of a world I’ll have you know

I am the floodgate, cast my mandate to

Deflagrate the thankless ingrates

Open your arms and invite the rivers to flow
