Analysis of blood's vengeance
blood's vengeance is the shriek and deadly scream
as Satan strides into the Devil's lair
all evil flows from out Hells fiery dream
'tis not a night for whimsy's silent stare
dark fingers reach with hoary roar's intent
to twist the life from all who linger near
the bloody plate that passes, gone and went...
aye, all that stay will die within the year
revenge walks by with weapons drawn to kill
with deepened strokes that slice and draw new blood
as lightning pierces air upon death's hill
and panting snarls release now in a flood
blood drips it's crimson flow from off the plate
as no collection e'er will make the round
the priest has entered in the game too late
and lies stripped of his robes upon the ground
walk swiftly, all ye denizens that feast
and eat the bodies of the newly dead
new day will break the silence of the East
when Satan's great blood vengeance is fine fed
'ner walk alone on nights when moon is hid
or ye shall strike the bargain of death's bid
