Damnation Trail

Damnation Trail

Through forests dark and shadowed vale
He follows the damnation trail
Along the river’s twisted course
Through bracken thick and clutching gorse
The ancient path cut through the land
He walks with devil’s hand in hand

He drags himself from dusk till dawn
Across the fields of rustling corn
Each hopeful sheaf each gathered bail
Along the dark damnation trail

And where his steps flatten the crops
No more will grow the wheat and hops
For he has footsteps cast in death
He steals the failing summer’s breath
There’s only winter in his eyes
Where he treads salvation dies

He leaves a trail of stiffened crows
In ditches, furrows and hedgerows
When he touches gentle things
He is the grief that autumn brings
His ragged clothes take on the hue
Of fallen leaves and damp mildew

At last he settles on the earth
Awaits the reaper for rebirth
The crow man who will wield his scythe
and return to him a life.
The dark angel answers his call
for seasons rise as seasons fall.
