The Brazen Of The Final Girl

Possessing that beauty of the final girl, 
known to all as the queen of screams.
Exaggerated and full of dramatic flair,
she sees Samhain in a plain pumpkin.

Known to all as the queen of screams,
a harrowing silence often precedes her.
She sees Samhain in a plain pumpkin,
hidden scars come out with a dull glow.

A harrowing silence often precedes her,
even with lips painted sinful burgundy.
Hidden scars come out with a dull glow
fanning the ancestral spirit in the air.

Even with lips painted sinful burgundy,
the shadows obey and conceal fear.
Fanning the ancestral spirit in the air,
brazen belief is always at your back. 

The shadows obey and conceal fear,
exaggerated and full of dramatic flair 
Brazen belief is always at your back,
possessing that beauty of the final girl.
