lyrics

5 Litanies of Cruelty

A crucifixion, the saints are studded with arrows,
in their hearts, in their sides,
and burned like witches, the ironies of life.

And as the litanies of Satan are spoke in the chapel,
and as the litanies of cruelty are recited in slumber,
the eye resides in the vulva, of all poisonous parasites.

An incense shrouded barbituate shallow and corrupt,
like venom in the veins, the drugs take hold,
to reach to heights of sorrow.

And corpses are buried to rot then skeletal reminds turned to art.
The pieces of decay that bleeds bruises purple,
a cigarette in the hands of the skeleton.

And I am alone in my shame, looking upon the wallowing seraphim of luxury,
And I am an angel of decay, in my heart pure, as the belching furnace firs,
underworld lit by the pain, the veins of all the sins which reside in the world
