Lesson…!

Self-decorated utopia

Upon the graves of a man

Deprived of his character

As if a corpse robbed of its flash and bones

Left alone as if an outcast

While vultures feast upon

prostituting zombies, celebrating their freedom

Ignorance is bliss

Or so did the sermon read

Hollow man, hollow man

Who did you pray to?

What did you pray for?

Why aren’t you carrying a ticket

To heaven yet?

Looking for a bargain?

You could get one for hell

let them enslave you

or put you on sale

It’s all the same or so the say

inevitable ends, after all

Hurry, the carnival ends tonight

The gods will pack up past midnight

You must please them soon

Offer your services

Handjob, blowjob, fuck in the ass

Manipulate the spectators

Lie at will, smile

Bright days could hide it all

Beneath its dark alleyways

Salvation comes at a cost

Choose wisely

Before you are left-out

And declared an outcast

Only to find yourself unchained

Belonging to no-one no-where

Alas!
