Deep red

Sense the evil, feel the blade
Smell the blood and seal your fate
Screaming child, running from the past
Murderous rage, bloodlust resurfaces...

A butcher's cleaver sinking into her flesh
Hacked to death in a swing of the hatchet
Body propelled through a broken window
Shards of glass embedded into her neck

Hanged dolls dangling, a lullaby to your demise
Dunked into steaming hot bath water
Blistering epidermis, disfiguring burns
Painful drowning, scalding the lungs...

Laughing mannequin, creeping in the shadows
Face bashed in every edge and sharp corner
Shattered teeth, cracked lip and blood spittle
A sharp knife plunged in the back of the neck
