Lyrics

Something slept, across from me holding me from childhood sleep
Something sees, in the dark, every spark from eyes I keep
Everything, I once feared, seems to be what I hold dear
All the things, in my head delicious in their shades of red

Something once, about the hour eleven thirty four I'd cower
In my shell safe from all I'd invented frightened of the power
Now those dark, shadowed holes, speak to me respect, I know
So with reverence I must, trace the dust, the bottom of my soul

I've echoed devilspeak. I've held back evil's secrets
I've entertained the blackness, I've lusted under fire
I've tasted searing tongue I've swallowed sweated blood
I won't pretend to know, or even that it could be understood

In deeper pools, comes the dark, part and parcel, swim with sharks
Now embraced, I hold the night, bark is far more powerful than bite
Still I see, fear controls, ant-like million tiny souls
Chances aren't, jarred from sleep, confused and lazy are the sheep

Clashing wings the flashing storm, devil's flesh, so hard and warm
Not a minion, patron, slut, still I have been know his advocate
Devil's eyes reflect in mine, fleshes known to cross the line
In the lowered dripping jut, communicating wordless advocate
