Death drips from the serpent's lips
Swarms of foul carrion
dress these streets

Innocence, surrounded by
famished teeth

Vile creatures propagate
regurgitate raw flesh
With each perishing sun,
we're left to simmer on the carcass
gravel as they inch their way
towards us

The persecuted and the penurious
We are distressed and inimical

These are a few of my
favorite things
Please make way for the
cardinal sins

Indolence
Esurience
Avarice
Lascivious
Malevolence
Conceit
Carnage

We will consume
Feeding the famine
Drinking from the drought
Like scavangers, the vultures
begin to circle above me

Yes, I will fill this glass
& scorn at this sickness
Yes, I will lift this chalice
& toast to disgust

It's my only weakness

The persecuted and the penurious
We are distressed and inimical
Fuck all the promises
you never kept
Don't fret we'll make a martyr
out of you yet

We are but stowaways lost deep in
these treacherous trenches
Victims of snide whispers and the
mutiny brewing amongst us

Fallen angels Forked tongues
Forged halos & False revelations

Scythe, O harrower
Absolute devastation
Garner the cadavers
I am ruination
