Bang Bang White Rat

Spring, 1993

            "Little Alber tinfant sweet
              Twas spun af ate by sisters three
              Beauty, love, not what the yseem
              A solace dnight no wdread fuldream"

[Phosphorous Echoes: Come play with me Alby!]

Why do children laugh?                        Why do children cry?
What causes them to sing?                  The two-fold suffering.

Little Alby plays.                            Little Alby shrieks!
His work is cut in half.                His days turn into weeks.

His friends all have no souls.        His friends cannot console.
Their love is everything -              When will this trust die?

       
            "Bang! Bang! WhiteR at!
              Where' sGod? Who's that?
              Bang! Ban! gWhite Rat!
              First lov - eAll bla! ck"

[Faint Screams: Albert! Darling! Where are you!?]

What happens when we...? Yeah!        When do you propose we try?
Why, this is just a silly thing.            The fear is happening!

Little care for taste.                      Little terror speaks.
His screams we'll always have.        His curdled blood, so sweet.

His God has no control.                  His love would let him go.

"Their fate is suffering."              "Why would I let you die?"


            "Bang! Bang! Figh tBack!
            FoundG od! White Rat!
            Bang! Ba! ngWhit eRat!
            Ban! Bang! White Black!

[Remourseful Sobs: I'm so sorry. I didn't know.]
