Real LJ Idol : Week Four : “Nobody can ride your back if your back's not bent”

Apr 06, 2014 20:53

One, two, three, four,
Watch you crawling on the floor
Five, six, seven, eight,
It comes for you so don't be late

One, two, black and blue
Watch the past come after you
Three, four, it's at the door
Stand tall and proud, recall the lore

One, two, three, four,
Do you hear its whispers at your door?
Five, six, seven, eight,
Beware, my child, now stand up straight

Five, six, look out for tricks
Its eyes are red; its grin is fixed
Seven, eight, look, it's waiting at the gate
Climbs on your back and makes you hate

Nine, ten, eleven, twelve
Into your skin its claws will delve
No more counting, no more rhymes
Become the person you despise

Demon wild fulfills your fate
And now you stoop, and now you wait
Your child is young, but soon he'll know
How the prophecy learns to grow
