The paint swirls on your flesh,
Forming a dark image,
Your mind reels and tries to refresh,
The dancing memory, falls over the edge

Wake up and know your fate,
Your terror-stricken eyes, glisten,
Scream, satisfy me, it is too late,
And now, hear the demon’s call, listen

Your seeping blood shall feed
The forgotten body of master,
Now darkness, shall eternally breed,
Know that you, caused this disaster

I seal the death with a twist of the knife,
And a swarm of imps appears, like angry lice,
Come forth my lord!Devour this human’s life!
Know flesh, the offering of this sacrifice…

I can appreciate your talent and imagination, but it is rather frightening!

Thanks to you ll who gave feedback.

Yes it is gory and all that but just remember according to the the books this sort of thing went all the time during medieval England...
