They sway there, to and fro
From the meathooks, row by row
Their screams an unending cacophony
The very sweetest symphony
They thought that they could cast me out
Shun me so, without a doubt
So I show them endlessly
The torment that they gave to me
I am alone, but as before
Their blood drips down upon the floor
This is the fate they brought to me
I give it back without mercy
Time to weep
Time to cry
Time to scream
Time to die
It is over
It is done
I was gone
‘fore you’d begun
Darkest whisper
Silent night
Save the scream
Of your fright
Betrayer false
Betrayer true
You hurt me
I maim you
I’m the whisper
In the night
I’m the fear
I’m the delight
Your final hour
Is at hand
On my altar
Will you rend
Time to weep
Time to cry
Time to scream
Time to die
Goodbye
At the junction of left and right
I will stand and watch your plight
When you are neither up or down
I’ll come around, I’ll come around
When you are neither back or fore
You’d better hope they locked the door
When you are neither standing or sitting down
I’ll come around, I’ll come around
With skin not black or white
My hand shall grip your wrist so tight
Your blood runs neither red or blue
I’ll find you, I’ll find you
In a place made not of wood or stone
I’ll tie you down in my snug home
In neither river nor a stream
I’ll take you….and you will scream
Tick tock, three ‘o clock
Tick tock, four
Tick tock, five ‘o clock
Tick tock, more
Blood blood
Dripping down
Your time is running out
How much longer do you have
Before your blood’s drained out?
Tick tock, six ‘o clock
Tick tock, seven
Tick tock, eight ‘o clock
All the way to eleven
Blood blood
Dripping down
And yet you’re still alive
What a mockery of life you make
Living only to die
Tick tock, twelve ‘o clock
Tick tock, one
Tick tock, two ‘o clock
I see your time has come
Blood blood
Dripped all down
Your life is at its end
There’s no more blood to drip
And so this tale does end
Tick tock
Tick tock
Tick…
One, two, three, four
Comes the knocking at the door
Five, six, seven, eight
That knocking is becoming quite irate
Nine, ten, eleven, then
The knockings stopped only to begin again
One pound, two pounds, three pounds, more
Who the hell is at my door?!
Four pounds, five pounds, six pounds, seven
I wait to see if they’ll reach eleven
The pounding stops at thirteen
And outside I hear a most unholy creen
I peek outside only to see
The knocking and pounding was done by me
Now a corpse lying on the ground
Silent now, making not a sound
But how can I be there when I stand here?
I think I’m going to need a beer
Seeking out sweet liquid relief
I find the answer to my disbelief
My body’s dead, but a husk
Leaving me but a soul to rust
Oh the bane of Hallow’s Eve
I shall now relive my murder without reprieve
All Hallows Eve, a frightful blight
Filled with such curious sights
Witches, ghouls and demons alike
Only appear on All Souls Night
So what shall you do on this Samhain
Hide, bar the doors and thus remain
Or will you give these spooks delight
And welcome them with pumpkin light
When silence strikes
The golden moor
When love is
But a faint memory
When your breath
Speaks not again
Only then will peace
Be known to me
When screams fade
Into the dark
When children cry
For justice
When the winds
Still the angry yells
Peace will return
To this land
Fade away
Into the black
Never to return
To the light
When the screams
Are silenced
Only then
Will I be satisfied
Hidden beneath the winter snow
Flowers wait to bloom and grow
You came like winter
But you are my spring
You bring new life to everything
I didn’t know I was so cold
Then there you were
Brave and bold
I will never feel the chill again
Thanks to you, my love began
Shoot me up into the sky
I do not care for how or why
Leave the earth beneath my feet
Soar above where clouds do meet
I wish to leave this land behind
Find a place in which to unwind
Far away from sour faces
Travel to exotic places
People there will not serve me ill
Not present me utterances of bad will
They instead give to me their good graces
And welcome me with open faces
So therefore I shall soar up high
Fly above past earth and sky
To find a land which welcomes me
The place where I may simply be
When the darkness shattered light
And brought us all into this plight
So the savior came for none
Leaving us to flee and run
Abandoned long forever here
Left to wrestle with our fear
The darkness came and hell begun
The righteous ones of there are none
Penance sought but now forgotten
The people here all misbegotten
Paid for sins of time gone past
Suffering now until the last
But those who would now wish us ill
Shall swallow indeed a bitter pill
For their actions shan’t be forgiven
Their selfish souls forever riven
Come then demons and bring your plight
Do what your greed deems your right
But the sun will set upon your power
And we shall take our own upon that hour
