Black Pearl Eye of Raven

Rooftop gargoyle Stone and statue stiff Black pearl, eye of the raven Watching on high, from where he sits A dark sentinel against the moonlight His gaze upon me never quits At the dawn he has gone But at twilight the corvid calls CAW! CAW! To warn the world The harbinger, my confessor Of the misdeeds I refuse to admit Each night a shadow of my lost conscious My superficial walls from me he does strip One by one the eyes upon begin to stare Til madness fills me And not another hour of darkness can I bare I bleed my heart open to the authority And the black demon laughs and laughs And flaps his wings To seek the next of his victims Hooded villians roaming free Preying pleasurably upon the weak Messenger of black summoned through affiction Brings them to their knees Thus, the burden of sins upon their backs Is his calling card to leave
