The Raven And The Rose

The chosen one glows like the sun

Pure of heart, wide in eye

Sweet she sings, sings her hymns

Golden girl dances by

He is filth.

Scum of God

Black as night.

Mute and sick

Sent by the Lord.

The boy his sword

To reap the gold.

To use the stick

He watches her from his side in the blood

Waiting for the holy call for her blood

Every moon she comes close to her Lord

Sick with suffering.

The stench and filth of him

Death all around him.

The flies, the dogs, the din

King of death and pain.

Ruler of the slain

All in Gods name.

Creatures for the maim

I'll come for you soon for my God is my want

Your eyes.

Your face.

An angel for the world to see

My God is my want

Sickle in hand.

Over her I stand

Fear and love.

Red and tears I see

My God is my want.

My God is my want

My God is my want.

My fucking God is my want

There he lay for his God.

A final time

The silent one.

Fallen son.

A final night
