donkey-headed adversary of humanity opens the book
The donkey-headed adversary of humanity opens the discussion

I am the adversary
And must remain the adversary
I am not yours to embrace
I am not yours to invoke

The donkey-headed adversary of humanity sleeps in the hall
Watches for signs of our imminent demise in the scratchings on the wall
The donkey-headed adversary of humanity sleepings in the park
Listens for sounds of our eminent decay in the singing of a solitary lark

Mankind is a plague
Breathing hell into every corner of the rotting earth
Even now in this our finest hour
I feel the hate of every stone, tree and flower

Even now we fall under the long shadow of the donkey's ears
Even now we listen for the slow grinding of the donkey's teeth
Lalala we weep in the din of the stomping of the donkey's black hoof
Lalala we weep for the slow coming of the dance of our doom (dance)

Mankind is a plague
Breathing hell into every corner of the rotting earth
Even now in this our finest hour
I feel the hate of every stone, tree and flower

Eaters of the soil
Take us into the ground
Death by worm

Eaters of the air
Drive us from the blue
Death by sparrow

Eaters of the sea
Take us into the green
Death by eel

Eaters of the scraps
Take us in our beds
Death by dog

Eaters of the soil
Take us into the ground
Death by sand

Eaters of the air
Drive us from the sky
Death by flower

Eaters of the green
Take us into the sea
Death by water

Eaters of the scraps
Take us in our beds
Death by stone

Death by silence
Death by sorrow

The donkey-headed adversary of humanity closes the book
The donkey-headed adversary of humanity closes the discussion
