Monster Attack on the Biped Individual

Stirrup and People · 1985 · Track 5

You will stop smiling, When it overwhelms you. And when you grow tired of screaming, It will carefully cleave your skull open. It will crawl right up to your neck Into your thoughts and hopes. Shreds of bloodstained clothing Will fall to the ground. Your kind, peaceful mouth It will mutilate with its claws, And your talkative tongue It will nail to your forehead. The fierce monster, the bloody monster Relentlessly creeps in. First the left, then the right— It gnaws off both your fingers. You were honest, you were pure And never used force. You were a staunch pacifist, But they gnawed off your symbol.
