Hallowing Carving up more than pumpkins A killer does duty for the devil Dogging for scents of innocence Nothing stops this virulent evil Hunting for a virtuous victim Young man so willing, come along Temptations arise in the setting sun Moon and tide forces pulling strong He walks unwittingly into the snare A game of fate, zero chances to win No bridge to safety, only a chasm Reeking of the stench of human sin Crescent moon cloaks covert conduct Cutting deep, sliding spiral never ends Tumbling him in terror, torture Tormenting the tender mind it bends Raining now, it sounds like thunder Or is that the sluggish beat of his heart? Warmth is leaking out, it feels arctic The senseless waste the saddest part Prayers at this late hour, young friend? Quilting you now, blanket of death What is left hallowed here on earth? Sweet peace comes, last exhaled breath © 1999 Corinne Bailey |
