Strangle The Shadows

behold the child un-named

who knows no shame

and sees the world through open eyes

let's hope he turns inside

and strangles the shadows in his mind

no god up in the sky

and no devil beneath the sea

can force you into things

each child must live and die

and suffer beneath his own heavy skies

and they call that love

o paradise, around which corner lies?

and in whose book?

and through whose eyes?

we must turn inside

and strangle the shadows in our minds
