O, the treachery of the mind! The foolish heart, corrupted And the haggard, unlucky soul Whose bonds will not soon be broken Made a ******* And a scapegoat And a dupe By the mischief of the trickster id Fires of neglected love rekindled The seeds of that merciless charlatan, hope Spilled and scattered Take root and abound at a breakneck pace In the tenderest fabric of dreams Yet bear No Fruit Monstrous! Heavy chains that drag in mud and clay That will not loose their hold No matter the struggle of the flesh and the bone Who wear them Deserted by reason Now, bereft of the promise of another A curse upon her face! her mouth! her body!

Heavy chains that drag in mud and clay That will not loose their hold No matter the struggle of the flesh and the bone Who wear them Deserted by reason Now, bereft of the promise of another A curse upon her face! her mouth! her body!
