My demise came swiftly
now it's revenge that I crave
let me tell you my story
as I speak from this grave.
Five friends we were
then jealousy struck
now each one imprisoned
in dissonant places we're stuck.
I wander this cemetery
as my blood still drips with rage
from that knife in the back
that broke all my rib cage.
Piercing the lung
I could no longer breathe,
I shall have retribution
until then I will seethe.
Amy found love
at the amusement park,
electrocuted tripping a wire
as her life lost all it's spark.
Now the park is derelict
and she wanders alone
and the killer now must
for this chilling crime atone.
Annette in her home
was happy and secure,
when a shot rang through the window
and now death she endures.
No one will live there
hearing her groans through the night,
searching for that killer
with all of her might.
Shannon's spirit wanders the prison
where he was once a guard,
dying in a suspicious fire
where his body was charred.
And finally Chryssa
institutionalised as insane
bizarre phone calls for months
she succumbed to the strain.
She roams empty halls
from midnight till dawn,
seeking the one
who made her their pawn.
You can hear her strange laughter
night after night
with only some silence
come morning daylight.
Who committed such crimes
who would kill with such zeal,
from our place in the spirit world
they're no longer concealed.
A possessive mother
Alice can't believe what she's found,
with a curse and a pledge
her own mother she'll hound.
She will haunt and torment
till her mother lies here,
for stealing her friendships
she'll forever live in fear.
Then once she joins me
in this suffocating place,
her soul I'll destroy
none will find a trace.
