They're really masked buzzards
singing sweetly like pretty larks
until they plunge a blunt black beak
deep inside your giving heart.
Once your fully bled dry
you'll be fed talons of worthless gems
gangrenous oxygen from broken harps-

Over your bones they'll hiss strange melodies
dump your bones in a shallow bowl 
of their own making.
They'll have a victory smoke over your expense
its best to quickly close every valve 
and never-never let them in.
