Death and Fear and Damien Hirst

Fear, fear death and fear
With butterflies as antidote
Science as the new religion
Infinite Kaleidoscope

Peverted executioner?
In journey through the grim taboo
Shamanic surgeon, icon maker
Morbid drum beat witches brew?

Living legend sabbature
Formaldahyde dissected half
In sacred praise or abbotoir
Of putrid head or golden calf

The owner of a wicked art factory
(Well, people have to put their money somewhere)
Peddling bling for the super rich
Medicine show or soul lay bare

That dares to make money like banker would
And dares to sign work like a general could
To pull the bacon off the wall
To three dimensionalise it all

To conjour with the cosmic truth
A picture of the damned and blessed
A mirror on the hedge fund wall
With brutal greed and cruel excess

That we are us through what we see
And now perhaps through what we own
In Hirst the unpostumus cult
That flies the rotting scull and bones

Of fear, fear death and fear
With butterflies as antidote
Science as the new religion
Infinite Kaleidoscope
