We are that prisoner
In a deep, dark cell
Walls moist and mildewy
With holes scratched
By terminal rat guards
Sent in to spy,
We are the warden
With a polished oak desk
Metal rod in our hand
Covered in years of stained blood
To enforce
Our unwanted decree,
We are that executioner
Anonimous under black hood
Shallow pay is feeble
To enforce too harsh
For any other
To lay hand,
We are that demon
Taking hold the dead child's hand
Guiding him into a hidden land
Of despair
Beating eathereal wings
With the power
To drive into the darkness.
