To my brother Eddy, hero and survivor
of torture
I’m the shadow
Behind shadows
I’m the lightning
That makes you blind.
I’m the demon
Laughing at your tears.
I swallow your pride for supper
Throw your bones by the side;
I’ll possess your daughter
No matter where you hide her.
I’ll smell the black soil of your farm
I’ll want it, I’ll have it
You’re lucky to be alive.
You know my evil,
The stench of my perfume,
Fear my spies,
Proclaim my power
With your shaken teeth.
Call me Beast
But obey my commands.
Only heroes may defeat me
If so I’ll die fighting on my feet!
I’m the shadow
Behind shadows
Never doubt me
Dare stop me!
