Black Lion II

An old saying draws maggots as rotten as they be

In truth is a reckoning that cometh before me

Sly is the devil and cunning yet I see

Wicked in its ways as it stands before me

Quote it the scripture the swine is but fake

Banished by the father for its soul he shall take

Heart of the prince for I have the stake

The flies hath come to knock at the doors ,as the heart  hath festered and painful as a sore.

For your lying tongue will speak no more, for the master of the house has opened the door.
