Hair Dyed Black
Hair dyed black she said
On the floor, blood was spread
Her old self is gone
Her screams brought the dawn
They don’t know what’s ahead
All she knew is dead
Through the night they now thread
Searching with a knife drawn
Hair dyed black
Ahead it led
For mercy she pled
Still, they crossed the lawn
She got played like a pawn
She froze in dread
Hair dyed black spilt on the bed
