I
risked the wrist
To
palm the nail
I'll
kill the crow
To
calm the sail
As
I am tossed upon the hill
His
sea of skulls
Oh,
I signed her name
Before
I was slew
I
wore her dress
And
wisdom too
Still
do
Till
death
Till
death torn apart
Born
from womb
Or
work of art?
Unsullied
So
they say
Why
do the innocent suffer?
Why
do the cruel ones prosper so?
Everybody's
a critic
With
nowhere left to go
Wraiths,
so idle
Dressed
in slavery chic
In
translation
Mere
negation you seek
Because
stupidity
Because
greed
Because
monsters
Seen
and unseen
Oh,
they see you now
Don't
mind my open throat
It's
just my birthday ribbon
Everyone
loves a girl gone bad
Don't
they?
Surely
that's a given?
I
signed her name
Before
I was slew
This
is just the beginning
You?
There
are lions in the temple
Lights
beneath the bed
Ghosts
among the boundary-stones
Living
in your head
In
your head
In
your fucking head
A
murder of crows
A
ruined, bleeding nest
An
ocean like mirrored glass
A
holocaust at rest
We
stand for something more
I'll
kill the thorn
For
Love
