John Banrock

Blade

don’t look yourself in the eye
you might not like what lives inside
darkness lurks where demons hide

don’t sketch your portrait of the saint
you can’t earn your halo without pain
you’ve been dancing with the sharks
who seek forgiveness in the dark

bodies of ruin lie in your wake
face like an angel, heart of the snake
Hades and torture may be your fate
don’t leave your light on for the dead
when glory and power have fucked up your head
