Spitting Teeth - Immortal Bird

This nest reeks of disease

Soaked with mites and fleas

This nest is a room you’ll never leave

Beak dripping with bile

Scavenge scraps of denial

Refuse to settle in

Sloughing feathers and skin

Cryptic slaughterer

I know you fear me

Cryptic slaughterer

I know you hear me

I’ll watch you decay

This is your debt, now repay

I’ll rip fragile skin, you’ll always be my prey

Tumors ulcerate

Languish and stagnate

Sludge seeps from your pores

I’ll smile and wait

Bending bones that splinter as you tremble

Everything you dread

Clasps its fingers ‘round your throat

Spectre of greed

With a kiss so tender

Self worshiper

Stop praying

Your avarice

Earns you no pity

Desecrate your vows

Squander innocence

I would watch you burn

But that takes too much time
