Robyn Hitch***** - Fiend Before The Shrine Lyrics
I stumbled with a friend of mineTo see a fiend before the shrineWith pointed eyes and furry breathHe summoned men of faith to deathWithin a cloister full of fernsAn ivy twining round the urnsThat brimmed with duckweed and with snailsThe fiend, his mouth was full of nails"Oh, come and see my swarming shrine!"His little pointed eyes did shine"For God is life and life is lustAnd will be after you are dust!"The shrine, it writhed with giblets and with hairsAnd little tongues in flickering pairsAnd throats that grew from pads of cheeseAnd then came out behind the kneesA pumpkin smiled and from its beakA pair of scaly legs did peekWith squirming elvers for its hairAnd from that midst an eye did stareIt winked as me as if to say"You've seen enough, now go away!"I sing of life, I sing of deathUntil I might run out of breathI stumbled with a friend of mineTo see a fiend before a shrineWith pointed eyes and septic earsI knew this fiend did last for years
