Chatoyant light flies
Off the gem, the syzygy
Of Saturn, Venus
And the Moon high in the sky.
He called eudaemonia
In mellifluous tenor.
His victim died.
Thus did he.
It's purple blood a fact...
Dripping down the altar
To Baphomet and Baal---
And his fortune never failed,
But he had lost all his joy.
