Ptolemaea pt. 2

Here is the second and final part of Ptolemaea:

“
Even the iron still fears the rot
Hiding from something I cannot stop
Walking on shadows, I can’t lead him back
Buckled on the floor when night comes along
Daddy’s left and momma won’t come home
“

The iron fears the rot in my chest and is useless against it.
Something is coming that is unable to be stopped.
