Raised in the company of snakes

The parlance of a serpent

Born from the caring of a crow

The acuity of a bird of prey

"All appearances they fall when the soul is shattered

And dear reason... back she crawls when the heart is battered"

A sad, sad song is tuned for me

A mess of words surrounded by dust

Conceived under the sign of a black star

Hurt and misery

Disruptive, ill-willed, inhumane

The look on all their faces

A freak of nature, soul condemned

And damned by the Almighty

"Enamoured by the likelihood of absolution

Eye lids opened just in time for execution"

A sad, sad song is tuned for me

A mess of words surrounded by dust

Conceived under the sign of a black star

Ruin and grime is all you'll see

"The first rune shows me life

The second love

The third rune is for mockery

The fourth for malice

And the fifth rune is... death"

"Look away don't hold your breath, they are deceiving

Look away don't hold your sighs, unleash your anguish"

A sad, sad song is tuned for me

A mess of words surrounded by dust

Conceived under the sign of a black star

Ruin and grime is all you'll see
