There are jackals in the parlor
with suspicious slight of hand
They've cast me as their slaughter
and I play lion to their lamb
They have fangs behind the curtain,
they play host upon the stage
Singing all their dirges out
to all of the unsaved.
I don't care about stormy weather.
Fuck that, I'm gonna live forever.
And even though my veins are tethered,
I'm still fucking with the world's endeavors.
There are rabbits in the garden
and the crop is yielding bare.
They whisper to their mother,
who prays for a better year.
Yet the snake beneath the bushes
knows the dangers of the damned.
It took one tree to give life
and one fruit to curse a man.
