"Cometh the Morning Again in Valhalla"

Terence Ahearn

Hey. . . you lookin' at my flag?
You lookin' at my flag?

I wear my flag
I adorn my golden body 
It is my lapel
It is my license 
It is my Lord
I drape my fury from the rafters and let it
reel in the wind of a thousand screams 
on CNN
I celebrate the I, I who I am, I Prometheus
I give the fire of the mighty to an ungrateful world
while I bleed and suck my own blood
incest in one body politic
I stroll upon the bloody stage
I stride upon the bloody stage
My stage
I dwarf the universe

You want a piece of my flag?
Come and get it, faggot
Come and get it, cholo
Come and get it, retardo
Come and get it. . . Boy!
And I don't use the łn˛ word, understand?
I know the game
I know all the game
I eat media
I am media
Media becomes me.
Medea becomes me and I eat
Eat the children
Drink black crude, blacker than your nightmare
Blacker than your skin
You can't think black like me
Black as the river that flows down through the cave
Runs down through the darkness
Turn around and look who is behind you
Did you think you steered the boat by yourself?

Look at the shroud he wears
Look where there might be a face
Where you expect there to be something human
And what do you see?
 
Did you think you steered the rudder yourself?
Not on this river
Where the black surface burns
Eternally

Just who do you think you see?

Come on.
Come on, bro.
Give me a little.
I said, come here!
What did you say you were going to do with my flag?
My flag of blue
The color of blood when it runs to the bottom of a freshly killed man
My flag of white
The color of no blood left in a shriveled heart
My flag of red
The color I drink
The color I eat
The color I gorge myself with
Until I am bloated 
Smiling 
Oozing
(Might I sell you an Uzi?)
And licking the salty taste from my lips
Smacking my red, protruding lips
I hear the belch of blood from deep in my throat
And gladly, I give it to all my fans
Let them hear the bells peal 
Let them watch the flesh peel
As it burns
Off the bone

Because who is there to stop me?
I mean, who the fuck is going to stop me?

You?
