Behind Friendly Facade
Kill them slowly a gasp for breath
Take their soul eyes vacant of life
Bury blade deep within their chest
Tip of blade holds beating heart
Cast lifeless body into pit of fire
Bone revealed as flesh doth burn
Ashes fly through clouded sky
Embers burn ‘til early morn
Vision etched deep in his mind
Showers fall upon bloodstained garb
Prowl once more an unexpected soul
Greasy grin upon liars lips
Carefree soul enters Evil’s domain
Steel blade hidden from innocent eyes
Screams silenced by bloody hand
Blade plunges deep another lost
Serial killer prowls the night
Secrets hidden behind a friendly facade
