THE NAMELESS MAN.

strike the match         the flame is death

the wind is march in the chattering breath

and the flickering light spreads on the heath

and it’s burn, strange world, burn.


smoke is fear        in the rabbits eyes

as the blood runs hot and the body dies

and the moment of truth is burned with lies

and it’s burn, strange world, burn.


see the figure         in the flames

he’s a nameless man with a myriad names

a man who kills but no-one blames

and it’s burn, strange world, burn.
