The sun was up, and daylight blue Filled all the air, but in the streets An obsidian dress fast cloaked la rue As evil crept on stealthy feet Which seemed at first to be small threat And undetect; but threat was rife With subtle moves the spylings breathe The stench of death, they lower life In a malicious, abrupt way Bewildered me, made themselves known Enemies to Freedom they Serve only to protect the crown We tangled, thrashed, my soul abashed As in obsidian pall it drowned And so throughout the bleak days, years They barricade the street and skies Their poxy prisons bring me years As they cull freebird as he flies He nimble tells their secrets for dear Price, a price upon his years Whereon the chase upon my back The devils apace to do their Ill Behind, beside me hearts pure black Know only evil Love no thrill For ****** rank they have the knack Of making life turn still The car swerved in with metal groan I run past them ever fast They the inquisition to my Joan Freedoms flag upon my mast Such fearfulness I have not known Than that they inspire, all hope lost What will become of our good man? Their petulance stalks him, his friends If all this time with strength he can Put doomed world on the mend He hath outwit them, beat the man Even if to grave they him send It is about a year ago The hunt, chase for me was afoot As we pacing to and fro In that town of soot A town of beauty till I behold The black coats and jackboots

On The Crescent
The sun was up, and daylight blue Filled all the air, but in the streets An obsidian dress fast cloaked la rue As evil crept on stealthy feet Which seemed at first to be small threat And undetect; but threat was rife With subtle moves the spylings breathe The stench of death, they lower life In a malicious, abrupt way Bewildered me, made themselves known Enemies to Freedom they Serve only to protect the crown We tangled, thrashed, my soul abashed As in obsidian pall it drowned And so throughout the bleak days, years They barricade the street and skies Their poxy prisons bring me years As they cull freebird as he flies He nimble tells their secrets for dear Price, a price upon his years Whereon the chase upon my back The devils apace to do their Ill Behind, beside me hearts pure black Know only evil Love no thrill For ****** rank they have the knack Of making life turn still The car swerved in with metal groan I run past them ever fast They the inquisition to my Joan Freedoms flag upon my mast Such fearfulness I have not known Than that they inspire, all hope lost What will become of our good man? Their petulance stalks him, his friends If all this time with strength he can Put doomed world on the mend He hath outwit them, beat the man Even if to grave they him send It is about a year ago The hunt, chase for me was afoot As we pacing to and fro In that town of soot A town of beauty till I behold The black coats and jackboots
