Hand in Hand

Honest and honorable the foresters claim
but a lie is put in their words, a trace of blame
One era past, then two and three rears it's head
and since the end of the beginning
when near the heart they are struck dead

Cowards stain their hands in service of the stained hands
but since staining the heart, condemned themselves to one land
Strike from surprise or secret or afar
the foresters killed themselves by killing
a first era dragon in it's last-years war

Now the shadow-hands skulk
in the shadow of a god-king
Now they hide in his city-ribs
safe from discovery
The god-king-city the evolution of their stained master

Unseen, the shadow-hands open the unwary neck
and hide behind parchment to escape their crimes
Unseen, the shadow-hands stab the unwatched back
and spin their malevolent webs
all for so-called honor
and a pitiful pile of hay

What grace, what skill they say
I rebut "What point has it
but to cheapen life already too cheap
but to put a last resort first in the mind
but to blacken a murderer's hand with death?"
