Eyes of black demise
Lips of Satan’s delight
Anger sparks like fire
Warring in the night
Hands of solid strength
Heart of heavy stones
Serpents in my head
Demons in my bones
Tongue of forks and knives
Soul of broken ice
Throat of kerosene wishes
Constricted with my vice
Tears of ashy splendor
Flake like rotting snow
Down my leather cheeks
That in the moon doth glow
Arms are opened wide
Face turned toward the sky
Mouth agape and trembling
Catching droplets as they fly
The water hits my tongue
Like a tainted copper flood
‘Tis not water raining down
But shining drops of blood!
Clouds are swirling menaces
The thunder, it doth ring
I’m playing in the puddles
And the darkness hears me sing:
“It’s raining, it’s pouring,
The red-stained Dove is soaring
He once was spry, but now he’ll die
Hear Hell’s demons roaring!”
Life is tainted
The world is painted
The eerie colour of death
The torture I’ll flee
By the crimson sea
And give the waves my final breath! |
