Ascend

Earthquakes terrorizes the ground
Medicine cannot heal him
Substances fail to numb him
Distractions are mere breathers, but it always lies beneath

Oscillating between strength and despair
From his grave he begins to climb
Though his viscera may be decaying
He sets to atone his heedless crime

Pontus' Pearl

Thoughtless aristocrats masquerading as thieves
An unforgetful love camouflaging as hatred
The pending cloaked as their past
Inevitable betrayel hidden behind a trust
Unspoken words masked as honesty

Secrets in disguise
