The Devils Playground

faster and faster 
the merry-go-round
watch it go
without a sound
spinning and spinning
and dripping with blood
childs play
a madman's love
up and down 
side to side
watch the swings 
see the slide
mangled bodies
without any eyes
hang from the monkey bars
its no surprise
all they told were lies
so they met their demise
in the devils playground
where the only sound
is people screaming as they're spun around
and round and round
and up and down
and back and forht
and tossed about
and it all spins around 
in the devils playground
