lyrics

A deep Orwellian fog nestles around me
Obscuring my leather-clad being
Into a spirit-like silhouette
The un-judging Fool Moon
Illuminates the cool, moist air
Into an eerie glow
The emerald boards of the park bench
Glisten with condensation
As the visions of the scars of initials
And vulgarities yield to my imposing torso

Would-be heroes trot by
In a hurry to get nowhere
Scampering along well-herded paths
Stagnant couples and naive lovers float past
Pretending not to notice my cold eyes
Piercing through the fickle shadow
A hermit, petrified in his cardboard cave
Prays to appease his wine god
In barren hope of not being noticed
I pry a sinister, crooked grin
And exhale a wicked cloud-like breath
As I concede to the destiny
Of this unholy night
I will feed again!
