it's not death if you refuse it...
it is if you accept it
here dwells a snake, one thousand miles long
coiled, one thousand miles deep
eyes like candy, it has eyes like candy
hard and blue, but soft as kittens feet
out of sight or in the element of light
it could be a devil, it could be an angel
with spiders inside a vision from hell
it's spine is a vertical scream
slow as buried concrete, blurred as a dream
it spins round and down on an axis of atrocity
fueled by inertia, depth, radius, and velocity,
it's soul - a twisted wreckage of despair and pain
and the spiders inside are just praying for rain
killing time killing time
and praying for rain
one thousand miles deep
the tides of sin draw tighter and brighter,
the hours become heavier and weighted,
and the shadows smile, dark and wild,
this is when hope and desire collapse,
the arc of the dream decends into despair,
when innocent lovers dance
like angels on fire.
this is when the night comes down,
a hammer on an anvil,
and the only absolution accepted
is a legacy of brutality,
a single note rings on and on and on
