Shifter
The devil's thorn caught on my sleeve
Chilled to my core, stomach in knots
Blank diamonds usurp, surround me
Stole away someplace I forgot
Shapeshift endless, torn invalid
Rip thy curtain of seeds thy sown
Harbors malice, sunsets acrid
Lift the veil to dark worlds unknown
Time to rebuild the damage done
Once upon the after of more
Beneath indomitable night
Behind the old coyotes door
A sea serpent seethes bitter center stage
Restless rat seeking refuge from its cage.
Chilled to my core, stomach in knots
Blank diamonds usurp, surround me
Stole away someplace I forgot
Shapeshift endless, torn invalid
Rip thy curtain of seeds thy sown
Harbors malice, sunsets acrid
Lift the veil to dark worlds unknown
Time to rebuild the damage done
Once upon the after of more
Beneath indomitable night
Behind the old coyotes door
A sea serpent seethes bitter center stage
Restless rat seeking refuge from its cage.
