The Devil Boy Part One

Demon eyes that dwell in blue porcelain skin pale and new Hair of raven full and black lips so shy color they lack Boy so thin spitefully tall his glare in night is recalled Taps his fingers on the table drinks hard liquor is if he's able No one dares looks at him for he is the devil clothe in sin No one really knows his age people know to fear his rage Does he hunger for sweet blood his eyes beam with a hateful love Dressed in black from head to toe appears from whence nobody knows Black cats show their backs to him he just laughs and slightly grins Walks the night shadows the moon always someone meets their doom Garlic, crosses, a silver spike quoting Scripture for it might Keep the boy of Satan at bay hear the murmur as villagers pray Young and tender as her heart within Mercy a spark starts The boy is strange but fair she falls for him without care Her mother tries to lock her away but at night Mercy strays His senses taste the evening air he feels the heart of she who dares Leaves her mother to come to him he feels hunger and grins Through the village into the night sweet Mercy takes flight Into the darkness of the mountain trees hairs on her neck freeze The crimson moon hovers above before her stands the demon she loves Villagers assemble torches and swords they swear Mercy's vengeance before the Lord A mother screams for her daughters return the fear of men becomes hate to burn Mercy eyes dare to stare into the eyes of the demons glare He licks his lips and brushes her face she stands tall in beauty and grace Little child so young and sweet tell me why your soul I shall not eat Release the hounds find her trail tonight the evil demon we kill Torches high lead the way as the villagers march brave Mercy absent of fear ask the boy in a voice clear Please tell me something I must know what is your name boy of shadows He is taken aback almost startle where comes this courage you borrowed The hounds howl the moon drips the villagers rush so close to nip Farther higher into the mountain dark echos of echos as the hounds bark He tingles within but he can't feel her fear something about her is odd and weird Why my name hear the hounds at bay soon the villagers will be here to slay Mercy strong and unafraid said little boy take me away The dogs confused they almost cry this is the spot a nose don't lie Villagers search far and near but no trace of Mercy anywhere (Continued in The Devil Boy, Part Two)
