Summoned

If you ask for him long enough The devil will come Beneath your feet I’ll lie and I’ll reek Think of me and remember The consequences Of not turning thy right cheek On and on, in search of a home I seek Orphan grounded beneath your feet Ask for the devil long enough And I will come Foster home to foster home Trying to match my teeth With marks from a pre-bitten wall Clustered and alone Never mind my posture, I’m grown Beneath thy ark these journalist have rewritten my fall This day today, this day yesterday This day tomorrow, I will await your call If you ask for him long enough The devil will come My peace is death I’ll come again I’ll come for your sins Summoned by everyman I give to you, Your every materialistic wish For there is nothing in all that I demand
