Bad Gods

(Bad Gods being all associated short stories + their artwork)

Hymn of Hunger

.

Ain’t strung up excusin’ your sins

Last nail in a coffin

Stood tall enough to stand apart

His murder broke Her heart

.

A woman be strong in her home

Blood of blood servin’ none

Suck on hagstones ask “Where is God?”

His murder broke Her heart

.

She went the way of the brown bear

The last gray wolfwalker

Without her King Arthur he’s not

His murder broke Her heart

.

Belly an’ bed an’ crib empty

What insult men conceive

Built tomb after tomb for their thought

His murder broke Her heart

.

This curse is a tired refrain

Fallen prey again an’ again

.

You suffer your women hobbled

Weak as a stockade field

You suffer your forest cut down

Rot mouth on cross or crown
