The bragging, barking dog
Barks every then and now
Barks at every passing shadow
Barks at everything that comes across
That bragging, barking dog
Comes across as a pampered pet
So it cruises on as a tolerated pest
The bragging, barking dog
Takes a bark to every soul
One by one
All by itself
Except to itself
That bragging, barking dog
Dreams a dark side for all and sundry
Except for itself
The bragging, barking dog
Barks at Princes and Nobles and Lords
At Princesses and Queens and Ladies
Even at their innocence
Even at their existence
But that bragging, barking dog
Backs the so very guilty
Even for their opulence
Even for their impudence
The bragging, barking dog
Barks through an open-ended door
A dark side door
The door that opens and closes when it barks
The door that opens but closes to its own dark side
The dark side door opens
Simply to pour vitriolic venom
To threaten unwarranted death
Even death that occurs on the dark side
That bragging barking dog
Barks…back to back
Barks…from a warning to a revelation
From the dark side of the door
The bragging, barking dog
Barks louder and louder
Barks anger even louder
That bragging, barking dog
Barks ever bolder
Rises ever higher…even higher
That bragging, barking dog
Raises a bark a bar higher
Even to reach the Sun, even higher
Raises a bark higher than a dog
But a day awaits the bragging, barking dog
That day when the dark side dog
Barks real venom at the hot Sun
A day awaits the bragging, barking dog
That day when the heat in the hot Sun
Burns at the dog side of the dark side dog
That day!
That dark day will slide into a barking history
