The beautiful darkness fills me
Replacing my hurt with rage
Comfortable in the silence
I burn with unholy hate
Tears of mercy coarse down my cheeks
But that won't save the walking dead
Reawakened my monster stirs anew
Devouring my willing soul.
Offered up is my pity and kindness
On these the beast doth feed
Swallowing whole my humanity
And promising me revenge.
The sight of violence excites me
For fresh blood I do cry out
Seeking another's destruction
Eases my own heart's despair.
The dark becomes my playground
The autumn moon full and red
The flash of blade a warning
To all who cross my path.
Beware, beware for I come for you
The person who has done me wrong
A terrible ache resides in me
To see your innards spill out.
Before me I send my shadow hounds
To flush the quarry out
The scent of fear excites them
Driving them mad for the kill.
A hand one brings to me
The trophy held up proud
And I give praise to that demon dog
For its lovely work this night.
All the limbs are missing
Crimson blood stains the ground
Demon hounds are happily
Gnawing on all your bones.
My dark scythe I wield
Against your straining neck
Severing head from body
In one moment of sheer bliss.
One eyeball is all I take
As token of this act
Preserved in a jar of alcohol
Horror forever etched into that orb.
At last sleep will have me
At last I will find rest
For your existence no longer
Slanders my slumber or my dreams.
The peace at last engulfs me
As Morpheus tucks me in
With your wails still ringing
Like sweet lullaby in my ears.
