it took quite awhile

for me to figure van out

too late to help him

tormented .. days .. nights

he'd listened to bad spirits

they'd taken over his soul

since he'd drank dogs blood

on the town's street corners

he was screaming for satan

he'd cursed God a lot

people flat avoided him

he'd scared them daily

he'd scared the cops too

his dad and brother left him

to shoot .. kill himself
