In Rose hall I Called her Dust of a grave, feathers of hen with Flint point scratched out The sigil, a sign, (et) invocarem... For dry-mann (dru man) Witch-fire sees The dust of the dead is flame and sword In my soul My heart Drank from the Cup of the Wrath of the Lord Spirituum Spirituum I saw three signs Red-orange on the candle wax Bone in the candle's ash I divine three signs Red-orange in the cracking glass Skull in the bone-white ash Bone-white-flame Closed up Saddled up Rode into the night with breath of lamb Gave you Black leather pouch Bones (coins) and a nail, to grace your end For men Men like me The dust of the dead is flame and sword In my soul In my heart Drank from the Cup of the Wrath of the Lord

the thinnest crescent moon i'd better get back soon avoid main roads, as i've been told that's where they like to fly i sneak down alleyways behind the preacher's place a peek inside the cellar spies the room where hell untwined the servant's empty bed the girls left her for dead my torch blows out although i doubt the winds have moved tonight a stillness in the streets no nightbirds call to me a flicker in the forest and i'm pulled towards my demise my body shakes in fits my zombie feet persist their wicked skin and ghouls within have got me by the wrist i've seem them in my dreams but now i'm not asleep the fire glows and moonlight shows the knives my flesh will meet what wine is this? metallic crimson bliss we're born in rows of six and roam amongst the sticks your spectral sights pay witness to our flights surrender to your fright a harvest moon delight don't go and burn your friends crush them 'til they confess i would doubt you ever found the devils that you fuss about

it is a really strange time of the year especially when you have been followed here there are strange men in the middle of the night and deranged children who just don't seem right ghosts want to show you how they have died they don't seem to be satisfied until you shit yourself and cry a pair of murdered drugstore workers grab your arms they tell how maliciously they were harmed and you must be quite, keep an easy scene because you're only celebrating halloween
5.
Holding your eyes threads of both shoes untied and I couldn't see your face Pearl white skies the fabric folds in our lives that I couldn't help but waste The camera you hold lens is open blurry pose of windswept wood on shores Light is exposed curtained windows, doors closed hiding the night in day And open to the thought of present danger in the footsteps of a quiet passing stranger Calmly calculate the time and space of odd and obtuse angles that plot out the lines to your escape When little branches whisper hold on to the thought that keeps you safe
6.
remember those ghosts people, they've gone away lovers, they've gone away shifting, all flesh to gray shifting, all flesh to graves people, lovers, shifting remember those ghosts
