lyrics

I know You are there in the dark water, not quite dead, next to me
I know what You're feeling, I can see Your daemon
I smell You coming; You are my prey; into-me-You I’m steadily reeling

I can see Your daemon

The urban fox streaks a sneak of red and white around the edges of the night;
A shadow loyally appearing, yellow eyes mark You both hiding and stealing

I can see Your daemon

I hate You and love You, of course, naturally we fight furiously
Heated arguments that eventually burn in the sunshine
No sweat just the second degree, soon the dead skin will start peeling

I can see Your daemon

Goats are bleating
Pigs are squealing
Both are bleeding from the throat

I can see Your daemon

Emperor, sweet prince, bastard, half-breed; You hate Your fleshy progenitors
But we all need trees; so, spinning gold into straw and with that another world I’ll start weaving

I can see Your daemon

When full-spectrum spectacular Gods’ eyes appear, opening
Like lanterns behind Your eyelids, You’ll shriek in fear
You're gonna be screaming
You're gonna be screaming

Shove Your claws into the earth like plugs or roots to start the healing

I can see Your daemon

La Chiva is the daemon in me and I am La Chiva
Wisdom smuggled inside of You, a prickly stash
La Chiva is the root cause of insight
And internal bleeding
And internal bleeding

I can see Your daemon
I can see Your daemon
I can see Your daemon
