Six surly skinless skeletons settled
'neath a misty moonless sky
in judgement of an ignominious slight
upon their betrayed chalk white bones
Centuries since and yet to come
upon those old arthrithic frames
Flesh and soul had made their home
abandoned them to earths dank clay
The soul of each was now sought out
Retribution paved the way
stealthily six set out same night
'Avenge! Avenge! each jaw cried out
Gnashing teeth and stone washed skulls
six plus six plus sixty more
from more to scores and millions more
Till all Earth's earth stirred long stiff bones
An army now was on the move
laying seige to the gates of Hell
The Heavens too were on the route
as every soul was now searched out
Flames of fires and heat of Hell
illuminated all those souls
in chain and pain and stagnant dwell
Bones now rattled and battled hard
Avenge! Avenge! their battle cry
seizing each and every soul
marching through the deepest depths
Soul and Bones now made their way
back to Earth and earths dank clay
All souls' day and all souls' night
scores of skeletons settled scores
Heaven held till holding hurt
then emptied all its souls to Earth
Souls and Bones now made their way
Back to Earth and earths dank clay
