Spent Blood Original
The warm red liquid running
Down my arm is something that
Stays fresh no matter how hard I try to
Get rid of it, it just stays there coming back
Thicker and warmer than before
The ones who say they love you are
The ones who turn the knife on you
First they say they will help you and
That they understand you but you soon
Learn that they only fear you
When you feel the warmth drain
From your body you then realize
That you were tricked into lowering
Your guard just enough for the knife
To slip through right into the center of
Your soft loving heart
As the lights start to dim you hear
A voice tell you that you will not
Be given the peace of death but
Instead you will be forced to suffer
A life of being undead
When you see the light of day you
Realize all the pain your in
Because of the betrayal of your so
Called loved ones and they turn their
Back’s on you as if you have the
Plague or something
Once you get over the initial shock
Of being undead you soon realize
That all you want is peace and the
Only way to be at peace is to kill
Those that made you into the undead
Demon that you are now
As their blood stains your clothes
And skin you soon feel life return
To your reviving body as the last
Drop touches your skin you realize you
Are no longer undead or dead but you
Are alive again because you
Have righted the wrong that was done
To you
