Hannibal

2Cellos - "Mombasa"

Sorry I didn't write
Last night
My heart
And my head
Are in a fight

Like the savage
In a Brave New World
Longing
For the suffocation
To stop
The saturation
Of the insignificant
to cease
Of holding honor
In a vulgar world
Basing everything
on nothing
If they only looked
Or knew
That which is new
Is actually very old
Holding fast
To a house of cards
Waiting to tumble
At the slightest shake
Or tremor
Wondering if they can remember
The time they were able
To bask in the truth
Til the truth
Became too scary
For her
While her turning
Running
Served her so well
She only stumbled twice
or maybe more
As she was heading for the door

This
Was something he did not want to face
Her tripping gauze
He could not face
The shade entered
Dressed in lace
And the dancing shadows
Became nothing more
Than dancing shadows
The exile burned

But
Even the vaguest apparition
Regrew
The form of flesh
Hannibal knew how to win a battle
Reduced stone to rubble
Elephants crossed the Alps
Strikes swift savage
To the very heart
Hannibal knew how to win a battle

And now...

He would win the war
