It's That Time
the time has come to roll the bones.
nero's ghost is perched on the hill
sawing at an archaic smile.
morphine drips from the moon.
go on ahead and roll them bones,
let's just see what the future's got
before jesus laughs himself silly
watching the preachers play drag-ass
to the grave.
roll the bones and watch them grow
important in the public eye.
we find ourselves wanting to eat the stars.
machiavelli's prince takes center stage
illuminated in a glow of our desire;
a man-beast twisted in a maelstrom
of poetry and lies.
roll the bones...
roll the bones...
place your bets and roll them bones,
dance on the devil's grave.
the war machine grows fond of your face.
the sad old sage plucks his komun'go
in the belly of this gluttonous day.
so roll the bones.
see what you get.
the sun is about to lose its race.
