Masque of the Black Death

Rabid wolf in sheep's clothing
Cloaking venom's breath
Disguising years of self-loathing
Masque of the Black Death

What drives a man to murder
The innocence of youth
In violence cast asunder
And willfully abuse

A path to forge
A forge to fire
A fire to blister
Ashes to remain

A blackened place in Hell reserved
For those not numbered few
A pain once etched within the scars
Of those he could subdue

Egregious acts of shame and lies
Cannot conceal his wrath
No longer can he hide behind his
Masque of the Black Death

A path now forged
A forge now fired
A fire now blistered
Ashes to remain

Acidic venom sears his tongue
Lies roll off as spit
A beast no more to eat its young
His fodder lies in shit

Hidden acts of darkened deeds
Shall now be brought to rest
Not dead which eternal lie
Masque of the Black Death
