lyrics

[fun with alliteration :) ]

A ring around a mouth
Ripe-red as roses writ in gardens in the springtime
Set so softly in the soil

A breath beats barely b’neath a breast
Bends a breeze into the bedroom air, the dust drawn up
Drops gently ‘pon her pillow, poor sweet soul

A light, it leaks, a lurking figure,
Fingers frozen firm in fist upon a saber
Feet a-flutter on the floor

As the tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock
Of time turns ever more
Hear the click, clack, click, clack, click, clack
Of boots against the floor
And just sit back, relax, know that
There’s nothing you can do
With a hunched back, coat black, Old Jack
He’s coming for you, too.
Oh….

A hunch, a hand held high
Heading hurriedly towards the tender tresses, dagger turning
Glint of steel that splits the night

A scream strips silence of its sound
Coming to a crisp crescendo, cresting climax
As her corneas crack open in a fright

As the tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock
Of time turns ever more
Hear the click, clack, click, clack, click, clack
Of boots against the floor
And just sit back, relax, know that
There’s nothing you can do
With a hunched back, coat black, Old Jack
He’s coming for you, too.
Oh….
