O! Haggard! We’ve no use for you now! You’ve drawn this land into your mystery, Deep in silky words of shadowy deceit, Slumping across the fatigued stillness You’ve traipsed around in doublespeak Across our acumen, atop our sacrament.
Now your deficiency cuts away deception And your shaming secrets roundly plunge And soundly expose the misconception Of your false smirk through empty tongue; A slithering serpent pinching away holy myths Forming an odd two-faced grinning holiness.
You’ve spent your last soul, spun the finish, We’ve not much left to give but your penance. Now what you’ve preached as sin for coffers
Does scoff at you in return for dishonor And has come around in this fall from grace; Using the shroud of God to cover your face.

You’ve drawn this land into your mystery,
Deep in silky words of shadowy deceit,
Slumping across the fatigued stillness
You’ve traipsed around in doublespeak
Across our acumen, atop our sacrament.
Now your deficiency cuts away deception
And your shaming secrets roundly plunge
And soundly expose the misconception
Of your false smirk through empty tongue;
A slithering serpent pinching away holy myths
Forming an odd two-faced grinning holiness.

We’ve not much left to give but your penance.
Now what you’ve preached as sin for coffers
And has come around in this fall from grace;
Using the shroud of God to cover your face.
Haggard,
Godless afflicted,
Meth addicted,
Apocalyptic,
Hypocritic,
Systemic...
