A Burning Melody

My name is Melody. I am from District 9. I have a power inside me that will only be known by the dead.

The flames of war have oppressed our being 

I am still in this bed, laying, breathing

Fill my mouth with the taste of cold copper

And feel the embrace of the world in a stupor

Push and push 

But the grapes of the past have made this red wine

and it stains my white dress 

It stains it a deep, dark red

You're gonna need to wash these sheets 

Your mistakes are spilt all over them 

Let me hang them for you 

because if I don't

The young will suffer more than now

Wait, little child, just wait

Soon you too shall have a hand in washing away the stains of our red wine.
