Broken memories and shattered lies
embers of mistrust glowing 'neath bloated skies,
it foams at the mouth and stalks our littered streets
a manifestation of grievance walking upon cloven feet

the screech of metal on rust, within the night a cry
lurking in the shadows in the corners of your eyes,
the Jabbersnatch is here and it's come for nobody but you
an abomination stealthy, surveying all that you do,

his blood is gold, his teeth splintered tooth picks
his amber eyes ecstasy that fits and splits

his role is to devour the wicked and the vile
the blood of his victims smeared upon his smile -

- - - -

The Jabbersnatch is here, he chuckles beneath my sink
the Jabbersnatch is here, I haven't slept a wink
the Jabbersnatch is here; oh my God, oh my days - what have I done?!

the Jabbersnatch is here

and he wants to have some *fun
