• A Ritual Mask

A ritual mask
up on the wall
furnishes his surroundings
that he thinks that's all

A ritual mask
its power still strong
a memento of his travel
that he got for a song

He got it for a song

It was the song of centures, undisturbed
it was the song of secrets and power words
it was the song of the culture, not grown immune
to the virus of progress, to the depth of the tune

The ritual mask
the evil eye
inhabits his appartment
inhabits his mind

The song of vengeance, the song of a debt repaid
the song of justice, the song of a heaven's day
the song of culture as old as the hills
(that it's uneasy to live a hole like a snake or how to kill)

The ritual mask
It won't take long
before he finds out the bargain
has turned out dreadfully wrong

Oh, he got it for a song
