Father Koontz (I.H.A.D. MMVI)



I shouldn't still be seeing stars
Any more juice and my heart will explode
It seemed like only an hour ago,
but I know now that the Morningstar glows.

I don't want to be baptised today
Pigeonholed into some contradictory faith
Yes, you're out on parole,
but you boast in pride
of your wannabe gangster
switch and ditch homocide.
Not quite concurrent with a "Christian" state of mind.

Maybe they're right to keep your daughter at bay.
sh*t, I lost mine and sheathed are my blades.
You eyeball my gut and jot down my worth,
but let's not forget who inherits the Earth.

One more hit
and I'm a coffin.
