In the Crowds
In the crowds I stood
Seas of obscurity flowing towards noises
The screams of angels having their wings clipped
Bloody bloody moon calling for her mother
In the crowds
In the crowds my skin peeled
Transformation
Blood, pain, growth, horror
Depression
In the crowds never a word shouted nor spoken
Granted light enough to be seen or heard
Herding towards the concentration camp
Minds snatched from behind the eyes
Blank eyes
In the crowds art dies and fire grows
Madness writhes and wretches spewing
Lies and fear
On deaf ears truth falls for the heart is the biggest traitor
In the crowds names and fortunes are lost and gained in moments
Lives lost to love, to war, to passion of the flesh
Passion
Passion
Pacified we stand united under one unholy flag
Angry cunt abort the bastard baby of revolution
Devolve to apes or lesser, no heart
Blind with
Lust
and
Greed and
Glamor
Fabulous boys and girls collections
Porcelain chipped to the bone cracked
Fractured minds chirping for food as brother Tom climbs into the nest
Purring
The painkiller's MIA, fortune 500 fucker riding on his vintage Harley
At light speed he swings wide and the truck doesn’t see as a universe is destroyed
Red sashes cover obsidian freeways to hell
While burning Sol accepts his crimson offering
Freedom from fear and fornication
Broken homes in rows of twelve thousand
Numbered by the cuts and slashes on wrists
Bleeding gold into the atmosphere
Amphetamine cityscapes rolled out over dusty roads and dustier minds
The bleak bleached sunspot winds
Spread the fire full circle
In the crowds
