The Last Goodbye
When fire breathes it's last goodbye
Extinguishing the Suns lidded eye
The shade brings life as dark surrounds
And unexpected screams abound
Blood slithers down a rusty blade
Sheathed in flesh a soul to fade
A maniac smiles behind a mask
Relishing his demonic task
Footsteps echoing from behind
A sudden turn, no life to find
Exercising futility
Victims always franticly
Search in vain to find escape
From a most horrific fate
Fear surely gripping their hearts
It's claws will tear their lives part
And when it happens no time to run
An unexpected end begun
Pain shoots forth like lightning's flash
As hopes and dreams are burned to ash
Blood spilled across a dirty floor
The life that was now shuts its door
And from the body comes a sigh
Like fire breathing it's last goodbye
