Alms, Alms, I’m Bleeding Out

This host is not my face
This home is not my home
I like the pretty disgrace
I knit the bone to bone
Tears for those things lost
Tears stream down alone
Gold for coin, pay the cost
Gold for bread, sage’s tome
I have no pleas, this miscarriage of mine
I have no excuses, this song I can’t sing
Drink it down, sponged vinegar and wine
Drink blood of all men, for the broken King

I very much like the last line. It reminds me of a character an online friend of mine made.
