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

Next…
