There’s a monster lurking Jerking Working at the chains fixed to the wall It’s gnawing, ever sawing Ever sawing through the gristled gall And here I am A traitor Telling tales Upon the bristled ball Oh treason, tongue of daggers, poison apple take the fall! I stare into the maw. - - - I wander through the mists of mourning Pearls adorning every limb As tears. They drop and drip, they pour in waves, cascades they coat my lips as fears And warnings, death and din And here I am, a berth of sin A deer, the headlights imminent, the rain downpouring, glistening and raw; I stare into the maw.

Here I Am, A Traitor
There’s a monster lurking Jerking Working at the chains fixed to the wall It’s gnawing, ever sawing Ever sawing through the gristled gall And here I am A traitor Telling tales Upon the bristled ball Oh treason, tongue of daggers, poison apple take the fall! I stare into the maw. - - - I wander through the mists of mourning Pearls adorning every limb As tears. They drop and drip, they pour in waves, cascades they coat my lips as fears And warnings, death and din And here I am, a berth of sin A deer, the headlights imminent, the rain downpouring, glistening and raw; I stare into the maw.
