Cry of the Banshee

Bursting moon is slowly frailing 
Her deafening cry, you can hear 
Razor rage of maiden wailing 
Searing scream from far to near 

Bloodshot eyes of bleeding stare 
Feasts at you while you're alone 
Deadish feet is in the air 
The wailing pricks you to the bone

Wrapped in dress doused in red 
Dripping like water to her feet 
Flowing freely under her spread 
Like gush of fountain from a beat

Sad song comes like a ripper 
Shouting out of dawning death 
When night comes deeper and deeper 
The sharp sickle rips a breath
