Last House on the Left - Forever Dying


Water so dark and dreary
That's where my sweet Mari sleeps
Under the ice in winter
I placed my axe in her back
She was so pretty - I had to make her mine

Her white dress stained red
Axe head encased in her ribcage
Kickin' her twitchin' corpse in the sea
She is still breathing
The stars are bleeding,
dripping her light forever
I should have saved her
Kept her bones for fire

Slowly reaching in the water
To see how her breath still flows
Her hand grabs my wrist tightly
I can see the life light flicker
in her eyes like a candle
on its wick's last burning ember

Her complexion so pale as if she had seen a ghost
A ghost of her life fading
as the water entered her lungs
A gasp and my hand holding nothing
As she begins to fall
Down deep where cries won't echo
dwelling in the depths of hollow
Ruby lips. Blue water
The stars are bleeding
dripping her light forever

I did what I had to do splitting her in two
Ceasing with a cry I couldn't hear
But it rang through my soul

Knowing her life below
Knowing what happened inside
Her watery tomb-less grave
Forever the serpents slave
Ruby lips. Blue water
The stars are bleeding
dripping her light forever
Forever dying
Premature interment in water
Let my axe be your anchor
rest deep in murder
Let my axe be your anchor

Montage of sinning smiles
Flash black then I see teeth
Sharp ivory glistening
A true dog underneath
A jackal, my baby a jackal

PT. II (Many, many years later...)

There they lay dead together
Two pigeons in the park in December
Necks ruffled feathers a flurry
Tattered wings blanketed across the concrete

As sudden as thunder
a dog barks
The pigeon hangs limp
between its teeth
Its eyes fixated upon me
I know it's my Mari's stare
I hear it cry out to me
WHY AM I STILL BREATHING?!?
