                                       Beast o’ beast, deception in hand,
                                       Jealously you covet the land.
                                                 You wake all dressed in good
                                                 But you’re misunderstood.
                                       Shrouded in peace you took command
                                       Of the minds that you could.

                                       Deception is “deception’s” lie,
                                       Wrapped in them someday you will die.
                                                 Twister of twisted minds,
                                                 Beware as time rewinds,
                                       The “defiler” comes to deny
                                                 And it is you he finds.

                                       Institutionalize the See
                                       It has long fallen from holy,
                                                 It too wrapped in a world
                                                 Tilting as it twirls
                                       And spilling all of its debris
                                                 As the clock unfurls.

                                       It approached and you swallowed it
                                       You ate it down and the world split
                                                 And Satan lives in you,
                                                 Controlling as you chew,
                                       Turning you into a puppet
                                                 And making his debut.

                                       Deception swallowed “deception”,
                                       But could not escape the mountain.
                                                 Becoming what it ate,
                                                 It filled itself with hate.
                                       The mountain rained down a canyon
                                                 And both fell to their fate.
