You must **** the Beast,
That's what I've been told,
Bring your blade 'tween its eyes,
Like in the days of old.

I must beat It and break It,
That's what I'd been told,
I must bruise It and make Its
Blood run cold.

But I would rather have It go
to some foreign land,
Or else hide with the fish in the sea,
Have It go and sleep
beneath those soft sands,
And stay far away from me.

Yet I know this Beast
would haunt me even then,
Would return and rear Its ugly head,
It doesn't matter what has been
And I don't care what the others said,
I'm putting this matter to bed!

I wrestle the beast in my arms,
Howling how I forever vow
That this beast will do no more harm,
For I am its master now.

The demons inside my head;
they feast fatly,
on fine wines
and my misery and despondency,
on glazed ham and roasted turkey,
on whiskey and my will to live.
They refill round bloated bellies,
Mouths full of delicious delicacies,
Just living keeps them swelling.

They feast for how long I have lived,
Devouring my passions, my loves within.
My sadness, like fine spiced soup,
Dribbles down their chin.
They are guilty,
guilty of Gluttony Sin.

They will always feast on me
and on my insides,
On my truths and on my lies.
My flesh, even, they take in strips,
My blood and happiness in the cups they sip,
My everything is on their lips.

Even when I am dead,
They will still be in my head,
Dining on the delectable dessert
Of the deceased.
Pop goes the buttons on their coats;
Fabric ripping like torn flesh,
Sweetened and thickened
Creamed like custard
Gently; slowly, flowing
Down their meaty throats.
