"In the middle of the journey of our life, I came to myself, in a dark wood, where the direct way was lost."
[Verse 1]
I heard the shuffle of the devil’s wings
Uhh, I keep on walking, though the nettle stings, lift my heavy limbs
I could be doing 'lotta better things
But I do it better than so many kings, better than I’ve ever been
Primrose path, the direction I was headed in
Brimstone slabs, designation I was lead up in
Window cracked, looking out with a tinfoil hat
For when they rain death aboard a zeppelin
"I cannot rightly say how I entered it, I was so full of sleep, at that point where I abandoned the true way."
[Verse 2]
Pish posh. he appears at the pig trough
Wielding a steel rod, smearing the lip gloss
Getting hair ripped off in a thick ball
Picked off, cleft in twain, blood licked off
Left in beige, cuz the best bit’s stains
The old boy ain’t seen the best-est days
Dressed his rage in a vest and Rays
In a less than day got to test his blades
Uhh, I been travelling for long
It don’t matter I alleviate the travel with a song
And I deviate from peers, my anatomy is wrong
I rap with a forked tongue, paddling along
Down the river through the gates of Argonath
It’s a long way, been a long day, close to getting cardiac
Arrest, cards guarded, king of hearts at my chest
Reading Dante, it’s getting dark at my desk
[Verse 3]
I heard the devil’s wings shuffling again tonight
When the light fades I just need a fucking friend, alright?
I feel the hunger, wonder “what is the catch?”
For a minute there, I was eating nothing but bats
God, my brain is goo, lately hear a faint kazoo
Way to weird it up enough, time for real to stage a coup
Ooo, ooo, I know this next part, get a beer
Abandon hope all ye emcees who enter here
supported by 8 fans who also own “A Mouthful of Bats”
