Demon Dance

Demon Dance I position myself in alarm As I heard something say “You’re in my space now I’ll take you on today I’ll dance with you all night In your sleep with hate I’ll put you into pure fright When I bring upon a spate” The ways of old are here And they aren’t going away They have brought me great fear When the demons come home to play Time seems to freeze When they come out with force At night they do as they please No laws do they enforce “Growling abides by no man I’ll put you to your death But first I’ll play - if you can I’ll show you my pure wrath” The ways of old are here And they aren’t going away They have brought me great fear When the demons come home to play The night air grows quite thin And it gets very cold inside The anti-beings splay at my skin Making it hollow beside At my lost distant heart Something make me think “I’ve come for every part You are the missing link” The ways of old are here And they aren’t going away They have brought me great fear When the demons come home to play Fear rides up my back As darkness soon approaches They ready for their attack On me and the cockroaches The evil-dwellers cast their spell I start to feel the pain I begin to feel like I’m in hell My heart is surely slain The ways of old are here And they aren’t going away They have brought me great fear When the demons come home to play Russell Sivey

I wrote a poem once called dancing with the devil, this reminds me a little of that..Demons will alway try to seduce you, their words always disturbing you.. need to find a way to block them.. this is really dark and with some disturbing imagery.. I hate cockroaches, including the human kind! Awesome write my friend..
