The biggest lie we tell ourselves; we're already in hell.

Carved into armor, I stood with a blade forged from the bones of rivers, the ash of forests, the silence of things we’ve killed to build our thrones.

But here, in the hush between heartbeat and wind, I saw the lie.

The dragon -- the last truth we had not yet burned.

System of a Down has been one of my favorite heavy bands for a minute and heavy music is what prompt #heavy made me think of.

The Deer Lady

A shapeshifter - the vengeful punisher of men who harm women and children. She typically appears as an alluring woman but is recognizable by her deer hooves, luring immoral men to their deaths through seduction and trance.
