But that was one voice,
singing alone,
Outside of the nearer insanity of voices
Babbling, chittering,
Screaming, laughing,
There beside me in the darkness of hell.
The devil still stood beside me
And whispered lies in my ears.
The Prince of Lies.
Giving with his words
And taking with his hands
Giving with his hands
And taking with his words.
Giving once
Taking twice
Taking thrice
Taking
Taking
