Monkey Paw

from THE FEED by DI KANG

/

lyrics

Wish number 5: keep me alive
Wish number 4: breaks down the door
Wish number 3: no curse on me
Wish number 2: paid what is due
Wish number 1: haunted by none

Wish number 1: your time is done
Wish number 2: we chase down you
Wish number 3: prey upon thee
Wish number 4: your limbs are torn
Wish number 5: keep you deprived

Is it luck or is it magic?
Is it brave or is it tragic?
Superstition or the culture?
Swooping like the starving vulture
Grains of sand we’re growing older
An affront that becomes bolder
Just a hint of native magic
In a role that becomes tragic
To the floor and on this lore
Clip the wings on which we soar
Violate the nature’s law
Succumb to the monkey paw


With each wish it becomes clear
The elation turns to fear
You negate the natural law
Clinging to the monkey paw
All the hopes and all the dreams
Ripped apart right at the seams
Looking for the easy answers
Conjuring a league of cancers
Violating natural law
Succumb to the monkey paw


Stalk all your your prey
Feast on this day
Breaking the wall
Precede your fall
Reading the palm
Breaking the calm
