I am all sorts of dark and deadly I light the stake at which i burn Bend the water trying to drown me Drink the river as it churns Change the skin that I'm trapped in grow it feathers, claws and beak Black as plague and death and dying Fissures crack with every shriek The mold of the world is breaking Glue it with mortar made from bone Gods and monsters feel it quaking Ravens laugh in gleeful tone I fly from the smouldering ashes, The river and its drought Cawing madly at the masses Expire, dead, die out
