The Demon In the Wires

Hot flashes of blue electricity Burn and dance like sparks from a fire As the ghost drifts slow through the wires With a great, charging intensity Floating through cyberspace, shadows drift Like children lost in desolate woods Their faces dissolved, their voices no good Ev'ry trace of them melts in the mist Thick and wet, this mist never dissolves It sits fat and covers our endless sphere "Drink all your whisky and drink all your beer!" The ghost giggles, glows blue, and evolves Swallowing data, swallowing all Nothing is left, All is devoured His soul blooms like some virtual flower And his spirit's laugh is heard through the halls of Hell.
