Fly in an
Alabaster entombment
Filling a mold of molten radium
Salival secretion drips on the
Sentiment of a translucent glaze
Venus looks over from a perch
Poisoned from a mercury dressing
'Slip me a ribbon
of arsenic taste
The opium outlasted my breath'
----------------------------------------
The time wasn't right
(it never is)
The sky was a deadly, hazel locust
A whirlwind of cold-shouldered acceptance
and
A vortex of callous-skinned affection
Fisheries full of maternal nurturing
Pulling teeth and hooks from pouted lips
Poltergeist cry for their siblings
Manifested by screaming against the wind
Rainfall across a linoleum floor
A broken thatch roof shudders
(its frozen)
A shadow in the corner dances for the moon
Lycanthropy entrances a world of nightmare
Der Teufel versuchte eine hand am schicksal
Engel warfen ihn zurück zu Hölle
Aber der Nachfolger kam zu brennen, um abzufeuern
Und schlag aus kerzen wasser
"Zum Nazaräer!"
Cry saints of holier schooling
A paternal statute at the summit of Struc a' Chroin
Claims a life under nova skies
Instinct causes extinction of purity
Innocence is lost when Death shows his head
