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.
