Sunken Cities

by A Scribe Amidst The Lions

	1.	The Equator Swallowed The Boys	lyrics
	Such a small space, no room for doors. Information fills every pore. Lock-jawed the escape code burns as slow as the bookends of Forty-Four. The Equator swallowed "The Boys". And the envoys rose with the ocean. Flood spines into a fatal land. Planted back-bone far from man. Reign doubt over a quiet land, where heavy hearts know what the mouth leaves unsaid. Ashes connecting old bones like weather vanes... And now, maybe fate has each one waiting, in their own door-less room praying. [Forever, for Heaven]
