THE MAD BARRON
The Monster

Looming in the midst,
Dancing in the shadows,
Watching from the mist,
Gazing from empty hollows

Yearning to speak,
It beckons a listen,
The words so sleek,
So polished they glisten

Letter by letter,
Constructing the message,
Better and better,
Sanity becoming a vestige

Black tongued witch,
Whispering your name,
Severing each stitch,
Bond severed from frame

Wilting inner resolve,
Souring foundation,
Weakening to dissolve,
Corrupting construction

Kill the monster,
Lurking beneath,
Kill the monster,
Cease its bequeath

Hear not the words,
Spoken from within,
Summon the swords,
Hungry to get in

The seed now planted,
Black roots twisting,
No solace granted,
Dark tendrils thrusting

Perform the rite,
Soul at stake,
Godlike might,
Strike to make

Curse obtained,
Fault not known,
Curse remained,
Reaped and sown

Slip into waters,
Heart beating hot,
Speak of slaughters,
Mind ready not

Kill the monster,
Chasing you,
Kill the monster,
That is you
