this infernal trap I've wound up in
 
this maze of rats of toxic trace

eyes blink at me and see a crease

and in the crease there lies a shadow 

friend to me he's straight and narrow

blackness is that smote the rat

green light marks as spider tracks

the pool of labyrinthine dreams

emerges now a furious beast

its fangs glow pale

its rhythm smooth

out the blade 

my shadow renewed
