The Black Angel's Death Song

(início)

        The myriad choices of his fate
        set themselves out upon a plate for him to choose
        What had he to lose
        Not a ghost-bloodied country all covered with sleep
        where the black angel did weep
        not an old city street in the east
        Gone to choose
        And wandering's brother walked on through the night
        with his hair, in his face
        long a long splintered cut from the knife
        Of G.T.
        The Rally Man's patter ran on through the dawn
        Until we said so long to his skull
        Shrill yell
        Shining brightly, red-rimmed and red-lined with the time
        effused with the choice
        of the mind on ice skates scraping chunks
        From the bells
        Cut mouth bleeding razors forget in the pain
        antiseptic remains coo goodbye
        So you fly to the cozy brown snow of the east
        Gone to choose, choose again
        Sacrificials remains make it hard to forget
        where you come from
        the stools of your eyes serve to realize pain
        Choose again
        And Roberman's refrain of the sacrilege recluse
        for the loss of a horse
        went the bowels in the tail of a rat
        Come again, choose to go
        And if epiphanies terror reduced you to shame
        have your head bobbed and weaved
        choose a side
        To be on
        If the stone glances off split didactics in two
        lay the color of the mouse trails
        all's green try between, if you choose
        If you choose, try to lose
        for the loss of remain come and start
        Start the game
        I chi-chi, chi-chi I
        chi-chi-chi, ka-ta-ko, choose to choose
        choose to choose, choose to go
