My Power it was purchased
from an Ominous Star..

(Soul for Mojo.)

which Has left Upon My Heart
a Scar!

(resembling a stained and
Broken Window.)

Be wary of what ye seek
My Sweet..

(dampen the dewdrops in
your eyes .)

For The Devil's in Men are
quite Discreet!!

The Path to Paradise.)

I wasn't always so damn
Broken...

so fucking damned, and ill
of Faith.

But once Those Evil Words
were Spoken,

I Became This Wicked
Wraith!!

(Both Dead and Damned by
the SelfSame Haunted Rage.)
