✦~☾- ☆-☽~✦

Cross the river, oh poisoned sinner.

Your tears run black, you cursed one.

When the water flows red,

Where will you rest your head?

The heartbeat of the night;

Caress my gilded horns, pure one.

In the moonlight I am fed,

Where will I rest my head?

A beaded necklace of blood,

Teeth in the night.

A breath from the dead,

Where will he rest his head?

Tink. Tink. Gasp, "N-No no please sto-" Tink. Tink. Tink. A struggle to intake air, "Stop-" Gasp "P..Please... please..." Tink.

A pause. The silence is interrupted by wet wheezes, labored breath. In the dark a life is drained away, one drop at a time into a glass. A wine glass.

Tink. Tink. Plink. "Aw. I spilled some."

Moon glinted off sharp horns as the monster tipped his head back. Watch the beads of blood flow down his throat, crimson jewels cascading down his neck.

Make your necklace of scarlet, as the cries of the victim soften into silence.

Don't hate the monster in the dark. For the sinner has no bed. Where will he rest his head.
