Stare into my black eyes

And see nothing

But the distance between Heaven and Hell

Cycle through and travel

In the cold stone

Bloodless

Heartless

Concrete construction

Oval

 

Stare into my black eyes

Do I remind you of someone?

Or something?

Grab a hold

Watch my wings part and soar

Now I look upon you with fire behind me

And depths all around

 

Stare into my black eyes

Become a scared rat and run

Watch me step on your tail and make you suffer

Eat your mother’s feces on your child’s lap

And drown in your lover’s urine and spit

As the earth ignites in blue flame

 

Stare into my black eyes

Search for the emptiness

Pray to your believer

Take your garlic and cross and wooden stake

Your manuals and books and written words

Your theatre and paintings and tongues

Twist them around and carry them off

 

Stare into my black eyes

My eyes will bite at your heart

And steal your soul and spirit and faith

Hold my hand

As your eyes become black as mine
