devour the birds

I'll devolve into the animal you've made me
I'll devour the animal whose ears you made perk up
I'll skin your horseman and shoot your horse
it's only evil if I kick them
after they've hit the ground

you've turned into a pillar of salt
just to pour your dust into my eyes
as well as on the skinned angel tied to my back
(guardians aren't so kind)

you're still a whore after all these years
but I didn't have to beat you till you were ugly
you've made it there on your own
(congratulations)

but I'm not the whoremonger you knew when we were younger
now I consort with the whores and their sisters
and their daughters
back to the cage with all of you
(it's time for me to ascend into glory)
