Song of Death
..... SONG OF DEATH ......
Tick tok, Tick tok,
In the past, goes the clock,
Where there lived a girl...
In a cottage, white like pearl...
She used to sing a song,
Humming, "the angel takes over the wrong "
But the poor girl never knew....
About the Nazis and the jews...
Once a darkest evening,
The cottage door had a ring,
Inn came a German man...
Blabbering, from Nazis that he ran....
The girl became so sweet,
She gave him...the best cooked meat...
But the dining fork and knife,
Took away her sweet life...
Her throat was bleeding with a deep cut...
With just a humming sound, her eyes were shut..
There she sang her favorite song...
The" DEVIL " Takes over the wrong....
Years and years passed by,
The cottage is still standing by,
But no pearl like beauty remains...
Only overgrown grass, and those age old blood stains....
A Nazi officer, finally renovated...
A beautiful bungalow, he created...
But those blood stains never vanished from the ground...
Who knew, the devil was soon to be found!!
His family finally shifted..
And Julie, his daughter, who was gifted...
With a voice like angel....she used to sing songs
And joy and harmony, was all around...
But that dark evening finally came,
When the sun was setting, drooping it's beauty,
Out was the officer, on his duty...
And now....the clock started its past game!
After the dark night, the morning arose,
Came in the officer, with a rose...
Julie came out....but with a change for sure...
But the officer had no clue, his daughter had no cure!!
Upstairs, the officer went,
Julie suddenly staring the ground...bent
And smiled like demon at those blood stains...
Which were now immense and fresh like the fresh rains....!!
The next morning the newspaper read...
' A nazi officer commits suicide, his body found on his bed....
And Julie (his daughter), bearing a deep cut on her throat...
Lies dead, with a dining fork and knife...near her bloody coat!!!
Tick tok, Tick tok...
To the present, comes the clock...
The cottage bell still rings!!
When Julie and the demon sings!!!!
