HALLOWEEN MADMAN
Three times I've had the lust to kill
To clutch the throat of someone fair
To squeeze it tight with all my might
'Till no breath of being is there.
Many times I drove the demon out
Though his sweat was on my brow.
I know quite well he shall return
Someday, somewhere, somehow.
I know I'm mad... but should I tell
And let the doctors care for me?
They’ll throw me in a padded cell
And toss away the key.
Oh, how short my life has been
For I'm just twenty-two
As I run with Satan himself
There's but one thing to do.
Every night my foul friend's back
I fear he shall prevail.
So, here I lie between the tracks
With my head on the rail.
I hear the sound of a distant train
I feel its thunder on the roll.
I pray it crushes my sick brain
And may God show mercy on my soul.
