Compelling you to be the pawn in your competition
Every drop of his utterances counts
As my blood bubbles...

Talking to a SkullThere I was, stranded in a hull
Talking to a skull
While trapped in the Maw
of the deep
Cold Water at my knees
I started to plea,
"Why Sell my Soul to the Deep?"

Just sharp sticks, blood-bricked mortar.
Berbers camp here for old time's sake,
But can't stay; as...

bleak headstone of hell!
