Spinning, spinning, madness winning Psychopathic thought beginning Butterflies to catch for pinning Spinning thoughts inside my head To twirl the net and bring it down To trap the beast unto the ground Its screaming terror'd not speak a sound I stick the pin and pin it dead Its writhing, grabbing on the netting The sounds I wouldn't be forgetting The tapping, flapping, clapping, fretting Gradually slowing to a stead A cold and sweating, mad reaction I sense the tingling satisfaction And this is surely just a fraction A fraction of the blood she shed My carriage wheels had quickly turned The case at court was now adjourned So early home I had returned Returning to my home ahead It was a cold and somber morning When I first received the warning A beauty carriage, now adorning, Standing still at my homestead Curious, I stepped out and gazed Its presence there left me amazed Then I saw my dogs were caged Cold and outside, barely fed Gingerly I climbed the stairs And pondered what'd await me there And then, this sight, this dark nightmare My wife and brother in my bed My curiousness then turned to strife My temper flared against my wife I silently retrieved a knife To turn her lusting into dread I chose to kill Paolo first I stabbed his neck and watch it burst His silent death increased my thirst I watched the bastard as he bled Suddenly, my wife awoke The bloody mess caused her to choke Her agony, in me invoked A sense of anger, sorely red She stumbled, falling on the floor And tried to scramble to the door She looked so sad, so low, so poor So shameful as she crawled and fled I pinned her down, still writhing, grabbing, My knife was quickly, sharply dabbing As my hands were cutting, stabbing Stabbing her from overhead When she was still, I calmed at last Yet vengeance soon would have me cast To Caina, treacherous and vast But it was done; Her blood was spread |
