Horrible Edge of Thorn and Claw

lyrics

I was really speechless when I saw
the horrible edge of thorn and claw.
Prickly like scissors in the gall,
falling down like leaves in rain in Fall.

Autumn was the blessed subject then.
That's when King Herodotus had his men
eroded into the Earth like just a fig.
Nowadays no one would
believe his power was big.

That a vision is inmost revelation,
that of inner perception,
is evident from the relation
of what's been said before and
what's going against the station.
Why don't you shut the door?
You can't bear intimidation.

You were adored by
your parents too much.
Now your pampering has
become a dreadful crutch.

The way is above.
It is not here.
It is full of love
and teachings that are clear.

Friends, I was deep in awe
of the bright cut of thorn and claw.

They slice the corpse
out of the law.
None understand it,
it is too raw.
If you saw it,
I don't think you could draw
what it looks like
or how it feels
the sharp protuberance
in planned fields.

Bland, biased
all the things they do.
You'd be talking much
more sense if you knew
how they perform defiance,
how they really are anti science.
Piercing helicopters of ego's pride.
Down they plummet, no more dark ride.

I was speechless when I saw
the horrible edge of thorn and claw.

That viciousness of raptor,
that would be a real disaster,
a bad chapter,
if they could capture
your mind with their kool-aid.
All the design is to pretend
to give you aid.
I don't pretend to be
above the law.
These are just the things
I said I saw.
