Sever

Sever the waves
From the ocean floor.
Sever the sky
From the land it adores.

Sever the night
From the embrace of the dawn.
Sever the man
Who plays the pawn.

Sever his life
From the things that he knows.
Sever forever
For in patience he grows.

Sever the blood
That sustains his life.
Sever what you hate,
Loath and despite.

Sever him now
From the words that he speaks.
Sever the silence
From the throat of the beast.

Sever his fingers
Before they strike the keys.
Sever his legs
Just below his knees.

And when you have
All the pieces of him...
Will you still have the man
That first touched you within?
