There was murder in
this house.
Now there’s blood on
the walls
and blood on the floors
blood stains the carpet,
and is spattered on the windows and doors.
and blood on the floors
blood stains the carpet,
and is spattered on the windows and doors.
There was murder in
this house,
the house of the fallen.
The axe, the hammer, the knife
the saw, the rope, the cudgel
The axe, the hammer, the knife
the saw, the rope, the cudgel
When the sons of God
(dark stars from dark skies)
took for themselves the comely daughters of men
as wife and concubines
(dark stars from dark skies)
took for themselves the comely daughters of men
as wife and concubines
Their ill-begotten
offspring
are the giants of violence and lawlessness
remembered in myth and in legend
are the giants of violence and lawlessness
remembered in myth and in legend
They are the corruption
of man,
abnormal progeny, super-human prodigies
abnormal progeny, super-human prodigies
The axe, the hammer, the knife
the saw, the rope, the cudgel
the saw, the rope, the cudgel
There was murder in
this house.
