Analysis of Depravity's Eye



Depravity’s eye,
  looking at you

Depravity’s eye,
  piercing straight through

Depravity’s eye,
  asking for more

Depravity’s eye,
  destiny’s whore

Depravity’s eye,
  calls deeply within

Depravity’s eye,
  the wage of all sin

Depravity’s eye,
  a price you must pay

Depravity’s eye,
—for all that you say

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2017)
