Interlude - Black Tongue

X and Y, and X and X, and Xs and Ys and XXX

Crawling warmouthed and whoremouthed down nightmare streets

Of monolithic entropy and nail polish

Cherub-faced entities preach propaganda and game shows

From lofty LCD pulpits affixed cross-like on Mainstreet

While the Child squirms in ecstasy in the Golgotha below

The dead walk openly on the boulevards, hidden in plain view

Screaming prophecies and whistling Dixie to the oncoming headlights of

indifference

The living and the half-dead tread lightly, lest they turn their heads toward

them, revealing a shattered mirror where there could have been a face

All the while the silver-lipped mouths repeat: «Move along, everything is fine»

Mighty juggernaut, that you should draw so many away from the flock

Gorging on gold and plastic from the hands of those whose name is apathy

Belching out superfluous, priceless, useless baubles

Mighty juggernaut, whose name denotes his peers

Belial!

Beelzebub!

Tesco!

Mammon!
