Candles are a flickering
Hellfire ripping us
Show me serendipitous folly
Love’s not a gift to us
You're meant to lift me up
Fuck your vain, incredulous calling
Free will is an epic bluff
The ethic of Caligula
Bares serendipitous folly
I only got one teat to suck
Mother nature's Godly love
My swollen foot lusts for her body
Heeds the heir of broken thrones
When in Rome, breathe the dust
Sing me serendipitous folly
Foil crowns shackle up
Peasants draw for plastic doves
A stalemates' peace for the pawning
I’m only guessing ‘cause
Don't want a mess to clean up
Just serendipitous folly
I met your prophet over pagan blood
Called the mother on her bluff
Ran into the city on a donkey
Can't purge the guiltiness
Innocence ridding evidence
Evidently insufficient and appalling
Seven years a mirror's shatter-proof
Black cats and ladders move
A rabbit's foot stops the elevator from falling
The prophet and the poltergeist
Dead as nails and cold as ice
Your mother made a sacrifice (with her body)
Providence needs prudence probably
I still think of her quite fondly
She lives inside serendipitous folly
