Unending, desolate,
It lurks in the nothingness.
In the dark I whisper,
Knowing that it listens,
And from the void it speaks,
“Run and don’t look back.”
Stay close to the fire,
Steady your breath and aim,
Ready your war paint.
Just keep your eyes open,
And try to stay awake.
Ready your war paint.
Starve the revenant,
Scorched Earth to cover up the tracks,
In the dark I scream,
Knowing that it hears me,
“I am not afraid.”
“Come and look me in my fucking face, liar.”
Stay close to the fire,
Steady your breath and aim,
Ready your war paint.
Just keep your eyes open,
And try to stay awake.
Ready your war paint.
I refuse to snuff my light.
I refuse to run and hide.
I won’t let it drag me off into the night,
No, not without a fight.
Ready your war paint.
