Wicked Silver BellA Poem by Jeremy CooneyJust finished this one. Came to my while I was shaving, wrote the first half before open mic, the other when I returned. Obviously I need to stop falling in love with practitioners of the dark artsA buzzing in my head begins As loud as Pharaoh's locusts Your face and voice descend on me I cannot seem to focus And when I cut myself shaving I just let it bleed Because I know The crimson flow's Enough to make you gleam When things get red and hard and dark You radiate with power Perhaps that's why my heart is art, Hung upon your bower You let it rot to dust You smile at the smell For seven nights And on eighth light You ring your silver bell Lost deep within the sacred wood My bones as stiff as stone For without a heart to circulate Order's overthrown But through the mist I hear a sound So thin and cold and calm I follow well Your silver bell's Wicked magic song (Break) Oh foolish hearts were set ablaze All those years ago Now an older fool , I should have guessed The power that you'd know You clutch my heart, and with a beat My corpse begins to sing You have your fun I turn to run Your bell begins to ring (BREAK) And when my song is over I know I'll not be free You clap your hands and with a jerk My body betrays me I pop and crack as I dance Around your holy flame How in the fire Of my desire I somehow lost the game No power left to fight it We fall into the dance You take my hand and shoulder I never stood a chance You lead me and you spin me An unending waltz of doom Now dark the sky By and by You take me to your room (BREAK) You finish with a cackle The spell has been performed Naked fair, you mount your horse And ride into the storm My heart you left upon a table With a needle and some thread It was quickly done The flesh was numb Into the dark I tread Walk out into the forrest In the lightning and the rain I can barely walk, for with the blood Returned my sense of pain And through the mist I hear a sound So thin and cold and calm Called back to hell Your silver bell's Wicked magic song (BREAK) And through the mist I hear a sound So thin and cold and calm Called back to hell Your silver bell's Wicked magic song
