Monster

In a room with a monster who wants us all to die
You drink at his side, copy the look in his eye

Downing his anger, his poison like a shot
His hate so contagious, your soul starts to rot

He searches the room, thinking who first to maul
Your position and his power striking fear in us all

I don’t know your reasons behind this betrayal
But the rising of the Sun will put an end to this tale

Eyes fall on a girl, quite small, pretty face
The kind you’d be in love with in any other place

Helpless and screaming, she’s tied to a post
Now comes what you’ve longed for, these past days, the most

Did you know her as a child? She could have been your friend
Surely those memories are far too recent to end?

Choking, spitting, writhing on the floor
The light in her eyes doesn’t shine anymore

You’ve torn her, you’ve ripped her, until she was dead
A death on your conscious echoes now through
your head

You coward, you rookie, you fucking disgrace
Crying on the floor, blood covering your face

Peep through your hands to see what you’ve done
Your very first killing and too the last one

Cower back in the corner for the whole room to see
You’re clearly not the monster you thought you could be

And I don’t know your reasons behind this betrayal
But the rising of the Sun will put an end to this tale

The monster who guided you, he wasn’t impressed
And now for this reason you’ll die with the rest

One last kind act to the rest of us, he grants us revenge
You’ll never in the next few hours hurt anyone again

Naked and screaming, bent backwards over a rock
Laughing hysterically, the monster rips off your cock

Scratching your flesh and spitting in the wounds
Blood spurts so high it could stain the moon

But not yet the luxury of allowing you to die
Your final hours of torture, you will be completely alive

After a few hours I can no longer hear your screams
But the sight of you writhing in blood is the best sight I’ve seen

A strange, sadistic comfort, for which I remember that night
That night that, thanks to a monster with an axe, we all had to die.
