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
Eyelids 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
