Full moon in the sky hung low Which of you will be the first to go? The lover the dreamer or demented fool Who be the last into the pool Sharp as a knife, but large so Reflects the fear it loves to know Poised and ready for your blood Deaths descent will start the flood Screams, agony pierce the night Stop! Give up your mortal fight Step up, be proud, and smile as you go This crowd feeds on the fear you know Your sins were living and that can't be Your names will all go down in history Frenzied mob out for your death Cheering and laughing at your last breath A basket awaits your final reward Blood covered, fully adored Just say your one last prayer A glittering steel hangs in the air And me? Well I have Watched it all The great nobility of Frances fall Huddled cold and hungry in your jail Awaiting a savior, a ship to sail Approach the scaffold. Now don't be shy It will all be over in the blink of an eye Adult and child alike I've seen Just call me Madame Guillotine ------------------ Illusion...what we see and what we do...it's all up to you. |

Great historical topic choice! so much richness in the telling. I can almost smell the perfumed victim/oppressors.

Very good, I often wonder...which could tell more a grusome tale...the executioner..or his instrument.. EAB ------------------ For a fateful night of passion, since my heart need one last vent, I believe I am willing to pay that black widows rent... |
