MADNESS

What sweet music my madness plays,
Echoing deep into the night
From the shadows with eyes aglaze,
My darkest dreams with wings take flight.

Echoing deep into the night,
The cries will live in infamy.
My darkest dreams with wings take flight
Feeding on other's misery.

The cries will live in infamy,
Each voice a treasure in my head.
Feeding on other's misery,
Collecting the screams of the dead.

Each voice a treasure in my head,
I cut from each victim their tongue.
Collecting the screams of the dead,
I drink their blood to keep me young.

I cut from each victim their tongue,
The power of God within my hand.
I drink their blood to keep me young,
Heeding Insanity's command.

The power of God within my hand,
From the shadows with eyes aglaze -
Heeding Insanity's command,
What sweet music my madness plays.

Hearken unto me and hear my cry. Behold, the Dark is rising!

Excellent answer to my challenge.

Umm... yikes.... I'm going to keep my tongue in my mouth so I keep it connected to my body! The Dark is rising indeed! Frightening pantoum... I must say...
