Trumpets & crooked halos Blinding catatonic jesus eyes Hooves & beast meld with man The steel breath of a locomotive rushes Evidence persists at the absence of breath; love held back, it's all alchemy Sweet little liar the truth has been absconded Dusk descends on the Devil's town Tragedy painted with America's technicolor beauty Where the sea meets & melts within your drowning tears Please smile dear one Making eyes at the exit signs Terrified One close your eyes tight Call upon the Devil, come bring on the shadows, anytime is fine I will beat my ****** knuckles upon Heavens gate Sold my soul for another drink of poision Cut my wings to spite your face dear redeemer Where does redemption slumber? Where are the fallacies I've buried? The secrets I walled up in the basement Skelton hands observe the growing contusion You'll never find the bodies. . . See Minerva rising, Her song lifts me up Cathartic pandemonium circles me Predator of souls untamed by fire Negative vocalities arise as darkest storms are weathered False serpentine prophetess spits venom A saviour for the night and distaste in the morn' Executive defamation and damnation nails my guilt deep into my heart Holy mother take me to Zion and wash away the alabaster calamity

Devil's Town (Minerva Rising)
