Dead Eyed God

Greed and grievance, reptile brain

Grafted to a rotting frame

Swiz by any other name

Doctrine of a dead-eyed god

Reward and punish, pride and shame

Winners learn to work the game

Losers born to take the blame

For the judgement of a dead-eyed god

Whose blessing is a hole that hides you

Whose mercy blinds you

Alabaster idle violence and fear confine you

So white, and cold

To the mold where they made you

In the image of a dead-eyed god

Boy so proud to make the most

Of your abusive father's ghost

Who dreams of knife fights, sacrifice

To feed a dead-eyed god

Who populates ex-nihilo

This nihilistic rodeo

With wolves and sheep, the weak and old

Bled white for your dead-eyed god

Whose blessing is a hole that hides you

Whose mercy blinds you

Alabaster idle violence and fear confine you

So white, and cold

To the mold where they made you

In the image of a dead-eyed god
