In dark and gloom and tearful fright
I tormented lay awake at night
where bounding sounding heartbeats roar
and I roll my stained soul across the filmy floor
an idle word a passing phrase
blasts my nights and damns my days
faithless wontan inbred tones
rattle my marrow and crack my bones
heedless, pointless drawling drivel
laugh and caper, cry and snivel
in screams of forceful forest hues
in crumbling reds, faithless yellows, and bleeding blues
