METAFISTO

[markinjapan]

Behind the catholic church
in the ancient capitol
of the impenetrable island
of dragon flies lies
a shop with whistles
liquids in beakers
and birds on perches
and it is tended
by an old man
named METAFISTO
after the fist..

Metafisto, they call him
because he's after the fist
beyond the fist
unable to be touched
in the physical realm.

And the old man, tall and bald and bearded in a long black robe
sells and buys souls
souls in bottles, souls in beakers
souls as birds, souls that swim..
the old man sells souls and he buys them too..
so if you want to sell your soul, you'll get a good price for it,
behind the Catholic church
at the Shop of All Souls..

The old man does shoe repairs too
and sells whisky, soma, buckets of brewed human blood and small vials of hope.
Get on down there and sell your soul,
or get it resouled
Trade it in on a new one.

Whatever kind you want,
you'll find it there
because the old man has every type.
There are souls you can eat and souls you can drink
there are even souls you can think with
and swallow whole or chew on

There are souls as birds, souls that fly
souls that lift you up and carry you away
souls that cry
souls that make you feel the sorrow of the world
souls that make you feel the joy of the world
