Newlyweds honeymooning
on dreamy secluded islands
in lush tropical climes
a manifestation
of an unconscious desire
to return to their pre-fall Edenic state
to be Adam and Eve
joyfully frolicking ****
in a warm, wet,
earthy, green paradise
for all time

They believe their provocations
will carry no consequences
But we are watching from the shadows
anxious and hungry

Think of all
that must yet be done
to destroy the Beast
The thousand points of light
that must yet be extinguished
Time is not on our side

You say you love Christ
you look the part
but if I were Him babe
I'd rather fill the grave
than your heart

You think I'll keep you
because you're so fine
but there's nothing finer
than just me and mine

Naïve
you welcome death
into your home
Reckless obeisance
to the better angels of your nature
will get the better of you

After everything
I've overcome
you're the only war
I haven't won
It'll be death
before I'm done
