Vengence is Mine

Last night I entered into his demented chapel
In search for my Charlotte’s dear priest
Vague memories of her laughter haunt my thoughts
Inescapable hunger for vengeance engulfing my soul
Now the time of reckoning is at hand
Going forth to put an end to his savagery

The chapel doors stand just before me
Hell waiting on the other side
Righteous justice is just moments away
Openly he greets my entrance
Unaware he is to be my next victim
Gravely mistaken me as one of his flock
His voice so confident and clear

Hunger fills the depths of my soul
Even as I approach her murderer
Little suspicion of his own fate
Like a fly being drawn to the web

In velvet robes he greets me
So child, what can I do for you?

Heaven, father, does not await you
Another fate has been chosen
Victims demand for your punishment
I am here to fulfill their commands
Now your chapel becomes your prison
God can not help you

A needle pierced into his neck
Now you will know true evil

Underneath the glimmering light of the moon
Not able to escape
Strange, father, that I would choose your chamber?
After all this is where to took her life
Time is of no concern for me
I have all night to ensure your suffering
Satisfaction will be mine
For the death of my sweet Charlotte
I will make you pay
A tribute to her unholy grave
Because she trusted you
Loved you like a father
Even till the night you stole her away

Have you no remorse for you actions
Under the name of God you take innocence
No mercy for the children you prey
Great pleasure you take in their suffering
Empowering yourself through their pain
Renouncing your faith with each drop of blood

Fate, it seems, has brought us together
Only those who are worthy do I prey upon
Rather demented souls that I deliver

Tonight you become honored as my victim
On this night you shall be redeemed
Repentance in blood you shall provide tonight
Torture is but sanctification before deliverance
Under this hallowed roof your blood will run
Rivers of repentance for you deeds
Even as I become your deliverer

A chance for you to redeem yourself
Now let’s begin your deliverance
Deeply I slice into his ribs

Demonic thoughts enveloping my mind
Every inch bringing pleasure
Atonement for his deeds
Thrashing in his chains he screams
Hoping to escape

Tearing apart his ribs I see
His heart racing as the blood flows
And his lungs filling deeply
Trying to withstand the pain

Even now my hunger grows
Vainly seeking satisfaction
Enveloping my every thought
Numbing my senses

Slowly I rip through his abdomen
Another scream echoes from his throat
Terrible his pain must be
Another reason to continue
No mercy can be shown

His heart begins to slow
I know his time is limited
My vengeance is at hand
Swiftly I must complete the deed
Even now he gasps for air
Life drains unhurriedly from his corpse
Faint screams still echoing

With a clenched fist I grab within
Our pours his intestines
Unwilling to relinquish his soul
Life still struggling to remain
Death is inevitable

Even now as his life begins to fade
New blood flowing on the floor
Victory is mine
Your death is my beginning
