The Rape of Souls

Hatred burned inside his eyes
As none but I could see
His cry could torch a thousand skies
With earth, the sky and sea
All life it bowed before his mane
His anger like the sun
They grovelled at his mighty name
But burned they were, all one
For frightened screams and bloodshot eyes
And bodies numb with fear
Such wonders you cannot describe
Until, their cries you hear
For if you see this savage beast
This thing that they call man
Your pulse will rise, and skip a beat
And then you’ll understand
For whiskey, stale upon his breath
And stars up in the skies
Are all you’ll know before your death
You meet him and you die
