Malediction

Malediction
I am walking in the last rays of the setting sun
Whistling a hangman's tune with head held high swinging my gun
I say this little boy is angry, i say this little boy is mad!
This little boy comes to destroy, stone-eyed, cold-faced in swathes of vengeance clad

And the black cock crows. and a dead wind blows
In my wake are seven men who tried to steal my soul
In my belly six wild wolves curse and howl from their foul hole
I say no earthly will may stop me, i say no earthly will may try
No earthly will may halt the spill of blood from wounds and tears from craving eyes
And the black cock crows. and a dead wind blows
Below me burn the city lights like fires of pearls and jewels
I'm climbling down the city walls, unseen, unfussed - the sentries must be fools
I say all pleasantries are over, i say all pleasantries are past
My enemies, you pimps and thieves, prepare to meet your nemesis at last
And the black cock crows. and the dead wind blows
