Stray Dog Songtext

von Ilmasai

I am a naked wanderer of polluted streets
I am hungry and swallow broken teeth
Fleas are my conscience, gnaw between my ribs
Drunk on pathogens from fermented worms

I stalk all my life, going from tower to tower
I walk into rooms of greed during the witching hour
My mind suffers the breath of the darkest shadow's sigh
My only escape is to find a way to die

Tie the noose around my neck
The only final judgment is the one inside my head
Bruise my flesh, crush my throat
Now voice is gone and freedom's found with a rope

The windows of awareness
Slam shut and shatter
Glass cuts my body free
But I can't unsee
Dead pastures starving flocks
Wolves go hungry
Serpents swallow themselves
And the vultures thrive
