Tigers & Goats
Oh disenchanted charm
The loveless lovers' undying vows
Until death will do them part.
Bright and luminous darkness
Ere the night time's dawning sky
With still and stilling breeze
Distilling undiluted ale
From the pure corrupted proof
Of vintage-aged modernity.
Oh anachronistic dancers
A three-step waltz in five-by-four
Patterned unique conformity.
Sacred oath of perjury
With crossed-finger hand to God
Standing tall on bended knees.
Oh misbegotten child of promise
Named destitute of fate
A clear, abstract work of art
With a three-part death on wooden stake
Oh the demons here are human
And the bastard child of Father time
Just fingerprints of doubt's divine
Once a pride of manes, a flock of wool
Now jungle cats and mutton
Just blindly looking for a sign.
