Modern World

Roses are black, cutting is blue
Maelstrom and hack, precise strike true

Napalm burst fire, hollow chess piece 
Tragic this pyre, reaper scythe cease

Plead cry beg scream, dying fashion
Guillotine gleam, bang cranium 

Click back hammer, finger trigger
Silver shimmer, flash and flicker

Dying quicker, so cold, shiver
Sever beats torn by asunder

Clown car’s lachrymose red ribbons
Town bars fountain vain, shark fin
