Malo Animo

Child, child, dark and wild, Human and machine Did the engine turn the beasts to ice? And to ash your faith, love’s cruel device? See Manson slipping through you Like a whisper under water Cerebral lost in the cathedral Bending screams beyond the shadows. Bones clicking under flesh Spilling blood into the ocean Waiting in the shallows Singing songs about the thunder. Still Manson slips right through you Shifting your dimension Did you mention your intention? Or are you beyond our intervention? In the belly of the devil Masses wander in the valley Sending echoes to the jackals With the shaking of their shackles. Now they scream for your forgiveness They scream into the void As the shells around you fly and flow Sent with Malo Animo.
