Preda Pro Diligo

Profano Mortuus

She came from the city
Blood shot eyes
Tattered ribbons in her hair
Dragging torn lovers
On a travois of teddy bears
Said she had a message
Looked to the skies
“From up there”
Turned away and screamed
“This god lies the best”

Took me by the hand
Asked if I’d violated YWHW’s niece
“’Cause you know she wouldn’t mind”
She was in need of a denigrator
Her moment
Of prime time radio

We walked through the night
She tried to teach me
All the things she’d never known
Like someone needed her
But she’d had to let go

With her lovers
And the flies
Supping at her eyes
When her tears did flow
She lay herself down
Told me I must prey
As she became an aquarium
A sea of flies and beetles

“There’s my love
My baby
He don’t believe me
Anymore”

Another day
With the wasted
Preacher

She wasn’t wrong
Wasn’t sick
She’d read it in a book
Upon her altar

Makes you want romance
With your favorite god
Something to show
For all your passion

Fr her it was the teddy bears
That caused distraction
When I took them away
She wailed
At the redaction

In the rush
Of her death throes
The gods slipped right past her
As she cried out in exasperation

I left her there
Sacred ground blood stained
Wondered why to me she prayed
Until I found you
Another lover to bleed out
Another praying to be my prey
Give me all your hearts distraction
