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
