Old-fashioned evil is a woman with a raised brow
It's being in bed with someone who's not quite sure how
Old-fashioned evil is taking off your ring
Before an introduction.
The flying birds were wrong to doubt us
The flying birds, what are they without us?
The flying birds are right to fear us.
Those with wings, they won't come near us.
So I was just waiting for my father to come back
And show me how it's done.
Erstwhile, we assumed a stag astride a lake
Couldn't wait any longer for him to come back.
So instead, I am the one who comes back.
Old-fashioned evil is growing up without a brother
Or a sister
It's cursing in front of your homely mother
But new-age evil is digital pornography
Nuclear holocaustry
The promise of another ice-age
And children sold to pay the cost of coffee.
The flying birds were blessed without us
In spite of, because of your lude attachments.
I'm dreaming tin-wrought birds
With feathers hewn like blades.
Erstwhile, the flying birds rent this world for plunder.
I hope to get my wings
While there's still some sky left...
