Cast I cast a spell A spell against you Friend or enemy or frienemy You told me once or twice You want to kill me Drunken once You threw a punch or three Dare you once I dare you twice To cross me Cross your path A cosmic kamikaze I foresee a failure in your future If you try to reckon up with me Sectum Sempra Aim yourself at Overarching my reach Any time you witness Me succeeding Cast yourself a charm To ward against me Spread a poison word to isolate Last but hardly least I will outlast you Past my prime and Twice as interesting You cast your shadow over me But my patronus is a shark And it will make you bleed Sectum Sempra

We go to work To get the cash To buy the food To get the strength Well you know that we all Live on a credit line It's one big casino game What happens when The dealers take all the money away What new schemes are just Waiting to break the banks The bricklayer Goes to the banker For some money to buy bricks And the banker Pretends to the broker That the money's already his And the broker He doubles down On red 666 and he spins But any time you play You must remember this The house always wins We go to work To get the cash To buy the food To get the strength Well the keys to the world Are changing ownership As when the Church Lost to the State When our statesmen have sold Every share of our freedom away Will we finally have eaten our cake? I'll never trust a cop I'll never trust a doctor I'll never trust a lawyer I'll never trust a priest I'll never trust the banker I'll never trust the broker I'll never trust the dollar The Market is the beast I don't need no fucking trust fund No goddamn pension No 401k or IRA to see The only plan they follow Is the one that yields the least To you and me So fuck the machine...

Owen Coffin 06:57
My cousin Owen Coffin I think about him often He laid his body down To feed the few remaining The tender age of seventeen After two years at the Sea His mother trusted him with me But we were beaten by the Sea Imagine my shame in surviving Within the first leagues on the Sea A squall pitched the topmast into the lee Survived by the skin of our teeth But something yet wickeder under the waves Waited an ocean away Rise my son Up from the seizure in your lungs It's just cold, hard life Testing your will to sacrifice C'mon push, now, pry Tasting the salt that stings your eyes If you don't win this fight You'll never have to win or lose again A year of blood and lard earns A Coffin steel much harder We rounded past the cape To make for virgin waters With ports to make provision We hunted with conviction The Andes saw Dewitt abandon ship But soon he'd be the envy Of the men who lived much longer The beast was as pale as the steam That spewed from its hump as it cleaved Into the Essex, splintering And smashing into pieces Slipping under the waves And drowning all hope on the way Set adrift on the Sea Burned by the sun and sympathy For those left who'd die Butchered that some may yet survive Without food this life Forces a man to improvise If I draw short, then fine I'd sooner die than live to dine again My cousin Owen Coffin I think about him often He laid his body down To feed the few remaining
