dagger of mind
And it's clear in a dagger of mind
A device so morbid it scribes
a long spear in the side of design
Fear of one's own kind
There's no precedent we need to find
to secure what's on this mind
Rest assured there's sufficient time
to sieve this catch of vice
Dagger of mind - then I saw you
playing Cupid with attitude
on swaggering lines in your wet shoes
playing frog in a hangman's noose
And it's clear in a dagger of mind
that we've skilled our sharpest knives
Taking joy in taking life
trading punches to pass the time
Dagger of mind that has sold you
Dagger of time that has long controlled you
Dagger of life's own whore
A slap in the face of poise
Dagger of mind
Dagger so old
Dagger of light - darkness takes a hold
Dagger of dreams swung by bitter souls
reading signs on ignited poles
Dagger of glance
Dagger in hand
Fear of another man
