A Witch's Lullaby

when the sun sets down, at far end of the town; when night creeps in, sky full of silver spin; when mortals are drunk in spirits, voyaged to the slumberland; i walk down the bridge, to fulfil my grudge. stealthily waddle to avoid all sight, thick mist shields me to aid my fight. ages ago, i was ablazed burnt down on injustice pyre,demon gazed i was named satan's mistress not enough to distress pale hide venin,golden locks gorgon's serpent my body devil's vent hours talk the elder held maimed me,left to bleed choked me, stoned me, when that didn't satisfy charred me,left to die. anguished and sore my powers rose i took a solemn oath- pain for pain,a little game life for life'll only satisfy bewared evil's kin for i woke every spring sorrows were the guide chiseled with anger and pride and thirst for their blood led me to their hut and year after and every year to come life for life, pacified some so legend went around the witch was back in town and i took twisted pleasure hurting them at leisure one spring,nineteen ninety nine when everything was fine i rose again,walked in front of his gate he followed me at once awed, my beauty n gems he asked my name poor soul! never to understand my game wooed by concocted charm would do his harm comeuppance haunt! his forefather's deed their inhumane and greed thought he would pine but then his eyes met mine bewitched my dead soul and flipped my role i whispered in his ear a song he hear he closed his eyes i was gone for the night i screamed i cursed myself in agony i spared the devil's progeny so waited for the next sunfall when i again crawled bewildered my gaze i saw him amazed standing where we left told about a theft his heart was mine wished to make me his bride his eyes in moonlight unaware of my plight his hand rested on my cage enough to dampen my rage he painted a picture so bright against the lust to hurt him,i fight future full of promises life a melody,sweet voices alas! my cold heartless cage against his warmth his lustrous hide against my pale so i sang again i whispered in his ear a song he hear he closed his eyes i was gone for the night back on my grave never to kill again a crimson rose swell and i sleep well no pain for pain no life for life a heart for heartless cage but beware you kin for every spring i sing i whisper in your ear a song you hear you close your eyes and i'm gone for the night
