Banshee

A. W. Nutter Daughter of Satan and Jezebel Obeying the wishes of her father Sent from the fiery depths of hell Issuing a decree for the Reaper Reveling in the darkness A soul, black as the night Never seeking forgiveness Announcing death, her delight From the chalice of fear you sip As you view this female demon Incantations spewing from her lips Summoning the ferryman, Charon The Reaper suddenly appears To harvest your evil spirit Wipe away your foolish tears Kingdom of hell, yours to inherit
