can you hear the awful drums? they're telling us that things will never ever be the same again - so they beat, the exact same rhythm as the blood clogging my ears.
let's take the method right out the madness, shall we? laughter won't feel half as good once the last bit of wine has left my throat; the sacred chalice shattered long ago.
a tall man comes my way, hands and face stained with ichor. oh, now i see that alien glow more clearly! it sits behind his eyes, sways along with the light reaching through the leaves outside.
oh, but i do wish, i wish, i wish that things hadn't ended this way. i wish the fates had reached some sort of agreement, you see - in this matter between you and me.
no point dwelling in what's gone, and i'm quite sure i won't be here long enough to hear the last of the chants. and you know, and i know you know it would be rotten, rotten work any other way.
