Flies -

Some people say

That the way

An ever winding journey through the blear

So far from here

Yet so near

Obscure

Yet so clear

A light went on in my head

Sometimes I think

Many things

Are far from the way they ought to be

Sometimes I gaze

Numb and dazed

Amazed by what I see

Sometimes it seems

A laughing God has played his joke on me

A light went on in my head

Spiders in the souls of men

Spiders in the souls of men

Mice in the hole

And lions in the field

Jackals in control

And dogs are on the heels

Vipers in the sand

Vipers in the sand

Waiting for you

Biting at you

Preying on you

Coiled around you

Poisoning you

Constricting you

Jaws unhinge to

Swallow you alive

Flies

Flies

Flies
