Paint on the hands of a sinner, and blood on the hands of an artist.
Lust on the face of the latter, and shock on the face of the farthest (gone)
Both regretful, both now sated - both quite tearful, all feelings stated
Love unto death, and death unto love
The painter's blood on the wings of a dove.
Repeat.

Hmm.
Better dig the shovel in.

the graves of Graes, thrice stood apart
great Burnham Woods held fast, depart
from root and stem, foretelling death
of the fool, the fake, the lie Macbeth
