Otherwise the dead man walks the world;
Hunched by the knowing of the game,
That the sickle is the pointer to his fate
And the hangman’s noose and cancer are the same.

Past crow and oak the sinner sets his shroud
Against the wind and weather of despair
Sees claws and leaves all rooted in the earth
And north by south he knows he’ll end up there.

The future boatman’s patron counts the tides
On the blade of Dionysus and each breath,
He deems that living life must be the aim
For the flipside of the coin is living death.

"We are all atheists about most of the gods that societies have ever believed in.
Some of us just go one god further."
