|
Like Luther's army |
|
And Abel's brother |
|
I woke to find |
|
Only to smother |
|
And angel fat at |
|
Satan's feast |
|
Where falsehood, childhood |
|
And loneliness ceased |
|
Delicate like grief |
|
I am rapist, well-healed |
|
Double the echo of silence |
|
Like a dusty dead rose |
|
Contaminate with neglect |
|
Every little heart |
|
Should end up broken |
|
And shrouded by fog |
|
Like Luther's army |
|
And Abel's brother |
|
I woke to find |
|
Only to smother |
|
An angel fat |
|
At Satan's feast |
|
Where falsehood, childhood |
|
And loneliness ceased |
|
Asleep in |
|
The stumble of autumn |
|
The pain was calvary |
|
Our living on |
|
Empty! |
|
The dead of it - |
|
The dread of it! |
|
Like Luther's army |
|
And Abel's brother |
|
I woke to find |
|
Only to smother |
|
And angel fat at |
|
Satan's feast |
|
Where falsehood, childhood |
|
And loneliness ceased |
