The Black Angel

Thwarted on all sides atop a steed fast it rides

Drinking from a chalice that drips poison

Nor would it weep with the trumpets out of heaven

It is crawling from a hole in Palestine

All your weapon’s majesty, thrashed upon the dunes

Will rent asunder Galilee again

Worlds will collide, Hail Mary’s will subside

And the priests cry blood at my confession

Black Angel plucks the beard of he, the holy man

Into the labyrinth he is cast

Penance leads to naught whilst revenge, what treats it brings

The payment for a callow monk that kills

Heaven in which father holy our

A thousand years: the solitude is done

The fevers and locusts will seem like a carnival

As the foulest one as ring master sings

The Black Angel

Roll the dice incessantly with snake eyes every throw

By the lantern see the cloaken ghost appear

Gambling away the being that I was called to be

The angel spreads those wings of crimson fear

I see a palace shimmering in a day of hottest red

An oasis drought in Jerusalem

A call to arms awaits me as I gladly grab his hand

Assassinating every pig I see

Come to me filthy one smile upon my deeds

This race of animal have become dead

Tempests are roaring of my win against the fawn

Sweeping as a broom across the trash

In flight my master nods and gives his praise of love

The gutted corpse of Israel decays

A chariot approaches and it burns across the skies

The angel gives to me the trumpet

I signal this world’s demise
