From the Tree of Evil Into Earth Its Broken Bough
From The Tree Of Evil Into Earth Its Broken Bough
From the tree of evil into earth its broken bough
Power and pain such fertile seed for its black-plow
And the evil fruit consumed by all of mankind
Hunger that sets the dark into the human mind
Flies so deftly with demon spawn upon its wings
Defies logic, presented as mere stranger things
Woe to those that see not the brilliancy of Poe
Not seeing, his dark verses were not just for show!
We mortals that think we are far above it all
Walk in our blindness, hearing not such monsters call
Master Poe warns of Raven, we think it so cute
Our disbelief lies at evil tree's longest root
And repugnant plaguing shadows born from its fruit
Those that enter victim's homes to life so disrupt
Such as is that deep blindness that truth so corrupts
And may in some way bring life's end far too abrupt!
Master Poe of such a plaguing curse had to fight
He that despite his knowledge-had no peace at night
Man, a prisoner to the beast in his own home
Malevolent menace there, Raven free to roam.
From the tree of evil into earth its broken bough
Power and pain such fertile seed for its black-plow
And the evil fruit consumed by all of mankind
Hunger that sets the dark into the human mind.
