The Mire - Conjurer

Crossing over, the trudge begins

Through barren marsh and ceaseless winds

Mourn thy departed soul

Torn from your mortal coil

On this forsaken moor

May you find, among the thorns

That rugged ground you tread

Holds passage for the dead

About the fire, upon the fleet

Here is where those comforts leave me

Hold not dear all your sorrows

For they will only fan the flames

This night, this body will endure the torment

My God and Creator deems it worthy to receive

Heathen, avert your fickle eyes

Plead for an absent saviour’s hand

Whether you’d a life of splendour or squalor

This mire will surely see it end
