In dream I dream like Daniel   in color and intense   these dreams I dream of lions   and with alarming frequency      With teeth and nail and steely eye   they rip my flesh take me inside   wherein there bones I now preside   ruling the divine      In dreams there are two eagles   with wingspan over nine feet wide   these eagles they see the lions   and with a piercing frequency      One shrieks and rakes his face and eyes   One swoops and comes 'round from behind   With his six inch talons in lion spine   They take him down but I'm still crowned   ruling the divine      And now their bones are all alone   And who should come to claim the throne   but king of carrion, the crow   his darkness grows   as he licks the skeletons white and gleam   Ensnares my soul in shiny beak   where in the black I now preside   ruling the divine
