Under the Sign of a Black Star

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
