The Soul of Seven Teeth (The Original Version)

Recommended Posts

The Soul of Seven Teeth

She lost her teeth
Seven to be exact
A murder in a hall
He escaped intact

The night like shadow fell
Dig, dig, dig the holes
Three seperate, each with care
Buried lies her soul

That dirt smells of decay
What is this? he says
A bone, an elbow, an arm
God says it's okay

With a smile he goes
digging deeper, ever deeper
Swallowing his breath
His work is for the Reaper

A place of rest he's found
Nicely layed, sacred ground
This, her shroud...

He killed her because he should
What would you do if you could?
Would you find that ecstasy
That which you seek?
Or the absolute cold
The evil that creeps.

Which nothing do you prefer?
The one that smiles
Or the one that hurts?
