The Twisted Sister's Tale

Take heed the written voices 
Of terror and of sin 
For not just there to scare you
But to give you peace within 
For in these tales of sordid lives 
A message you will find 
To save your soul 
From the pit of hell 
And make your life more kind 

For in these tales they write about 
A love that has gone wrong 
Included are the tales of sin
Making the pathway long 
Erotic tales of lustful encounters 
With men they did not know 
But provided them a resting place 
Once payment sufficed the soul 

They do not share these stories of shame
To boast about a life 
Where they were forced to be abused 
Suffering pain and strife 
Some indeed feel remorse 
For the price they paid to live 
In a place that Satan made for them
To triumph within sin 

Day by day they walk about 
To find some weakened soul 
They take them in, show love to them,  
And they are seen no more 
Be watchful of the ones around 
For they may do you harm 
This is the twisted sister’s tale 
Of how your life they scorn
