Chapter VII: The Beast From The Earth

Upside-down faces line my wall
lipless I kiss, eyeless I watch
for rain to fall in my bedroom mirror
to drown all the lovers and wipe the slate clean

I'll make you one to believe
in this web I so carefully weave

I'll build my arc of stick and stone
one to sink, one to float
a vagabond prophet painted in script
says "I am the alpha and the omega"

and I'll be your muse in the end
whisper sweet lies to your death
