Faith

In the end
When the final steps fell
Cracking grit, spitting dust
And we ripped our fingers
Through barren hills

We stood as men
Eyes burning in cold light
Dawn licking around us
A faithful lover after
A faithless night

And where then?
Teased by lustful wind
Atop that single-faced peak
We could only fall
Ashes from fire
