So white
And cold
To the mold
Where they made you
In the image of a dead-eyed god

Who dreams of knife fights, sacrifice
To feed a dead-eyed god
Who populates ex nihilo
This nihilistic rodeo
With wolves and sheep, the weak and bold
Bled white for your dead-eyed god
Whose blessing is a hole that hides you
Whose mercy blinds you
Alabaster idyll, violence and fear confine you
So white
And cold
To the mold
Where they made you
In the image of a dead-eyed god
