PASSION
Swirling ivory thoughts
Swirling
In red-flecked blackness.
PASSION

AMBITION
Fire burning — searing
Torturing
My tied hands.

THE SUM OF MAN
THE SUM OF MAN
THE SUM OF MAN

CONCEIT
Eyes that see nothing but mirrors
Ears which hear nothing but praise
Present man with a dwarf.
CONCEIT
Houses perched on stenching
Quicksand.

THE SUM OF MAN

CONSCIENCE
Leaden hue of horizons
Racking sobs
Of a heart which cannot cry.
CONSCIENCE

FEAR
Black soul
Naked to a shrieking wind
Black soul
Naked to a shrieking wind.

THE SUM OF MAN

HYPOCRISY
Sleek
Dripping with
An inner oil which rots.
HYPOCRISY

TEMPER
Cramming pity
Of a blurred mind.
TEMPER TEMPER

THE SUM OF MAN
THE SUM OF MAN
THE SUM OF MAN Repeat

CUPIDITY
Cunning mind
Which unnerves the eye
Unclean lancet
Unnerving the eye.
CUPIDITY CUPIDITY

JEALOUSY
Swaying towers
Prey to a zephyr.
JEALOUSY

HATE
Unspoken words
Carrion
To nauseate
And snarl the guts.
