The Guilty Run
The guilty run
Out of fear
Out of spite
Run from the sun
To the covering
Of night
The guilty run
From the face
Of the truth
Seducing the innocent
While appearing
Aloof
The guilty run
From the healing
Of love
Revering the raven
Reviling
The dove
They don't know surrender
They only know
Pride
Maintaining vainglory
While
Dying inside
The guilty run
Till they cannot run more
Like oceans of anger
That will run out of shore
With enemies a-plenty
Without friends and good graces
The guilty keep running
Though nobody chases
The guilty keep running
Though nobody chases.
