Began to slip
Twisting and turning
Upon reality slowly losing its grip
Having no avenue to direct its massive energy
Or venue to express its million thoughts
The complex brain soon became manic and overwrought
Panic and conspiracy reigned
Anxiety became its enemy
Though a level of sanity was desperately sought
......
When you dress in the raiment's of war
And bathe in innocents' blood
The is a price to pay as sins accrue
For crimes against the most defenseless of humanity
The devil must have his due.
Their moans will strangle your words
Their screams deafen your ears
Their ghosts will rise from the ground
Into the river of darkness
......
Ole black bird with blood on his wings
Tells of the troubles of man
And the sorrow be brings
Snakes lurk in his heart.
Venom fed his perversions and desire.
He drank the rivers dry.
And set the earth on fire.
Ole black bird with blood on his wings
