Five Dark Devils

The last was deeper than the first
he for blood always ravenously thirst
Every cry was for innocent to die
demanded I give it my best try

The fourth came in like a lion
swore my soul was then dyin'
Promised relief if I but retreat
into his cold, dark cave to eat

Third was as slippery as an eel
his every dark sin I would feel 
When I refused his every dark wish
made me eat raw meat from a dish

Second, a dancing ghost was he
forced me to laugh and lie by three
Every morn my head felt like lead
as he tossed me out of my bed

First was worst of the bad lot
burned my heart and all I got
Stayed until he was forced out
left with a boom and mighty shout

Five dark devils did torture me
each kept me from living free
All eventually had to fly on away
for new light told them not to stay

Robert Lindley, Sept 14th 1980

Note:From my private journal. Written just after I came thru a bad spell deep blues..
