Rat Attacks!

Between the grimace and the grimoire
The guilty and the guillotine
What your dreams became
And what they should have been

The pot of gold, the heart of tin
The bloody lot, the meager win
The axe and the anxieties
The mirror and the memories
The minor and the major keys
The static and the symphonies
The fire and the frequencies
The sailor and his seven seas
Of prayers and of pleas

The feeble light creeps through the cracks

The flesh-like flowers, the iron-bees
In the garden of Gethsemane
The storm heralded by the breeze
The rustling of the Judas tree
