When I was just a young boy
my great father he had told me
of the holy and the wicked
in the world (our only world)
The wicked may be wrathful
may be real or invisible
maybe even standing there
knife to your heart (your beating heart)
Nets will open hands are reaching
coming for me hear them screeching
Demon spirits as the moon wanes
shattered dishes run through my veins
What do you want with me?
Remember all the crying of the people
“Moshe save us! From the torment and the evil
in the world (our lonely world)!”
My father! You can help them
with your blessings and your wisdom
even while we’re living in this wicked house
(this haunted house)
Footsteps louder ancient prayers
thick black water ghosts don’t care
Demon spirits swear by your king
you won’t touch or harm my family
What do you want with me?
Now swear upon your king.
