Track 3: The Sacred Art of Getting the Point Across

Little boy keeps wandering

Little boy keeps sauntering

Tiny, fragile little thing

Little boy keeps burning things

"Have you heard? He's nearby!"

"Just the thought could make me cry..."

Curiously he stops and taps

Matches fall upon his lap

Tiny, fragile little thing

Little boy keeps filtering

Holy places burning down

Satan's glaze upon the town

Everybody's so fucking vain

No concern around the pain

"Our church went down, I can't believe..."

"... Something like this, could happen to me..."

Little boy's eyes glow bright

Little boy provides the fright

Tiny, fragile little thing

You're behind what's happening

People scream when you walk by

Little boy's got a buzz like a fly

Sirens sounding, "Be afraid!"

"The devil's walking, we've got him pegged!"

But the killing continues just as before

The guilt, the gossip, the panic and the gore

Little boy with gas on his breath

Tiny, fragile, intrepid speck

You've got this town running for cover

Housewife's sheltering with nothing above her

"Hear me, children. There's no threat to our town."

These last few words before the roof came down?

Little boy with ashes in his cuts

Stupid little thing kicking up a fuss

Tiny, fragile concrete android

Just keep walking and learning to avoid

And keep burning, burning things to the dirt

Spread the anguish and the appropriate word.

It's all you have to do, stir a little less quiet.



"Fire is a tool of Lucifer, my children.

Be wary of this child, he takes each step for hatred.

His way is no way we associate with God.

He is all that is wrong with the world at large.

Learn to dread his presence, my children.

Learn to gag at the sight of his smoke."

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I adore the title and am genuinely proud of the piece all the way through.
