Strings

by Nick Gisburne



The time has come to terminate your debt
Our covenant is cancelled, null and void
You foolishly ignored my final threat
It mentioned how your life would be destroyed
The purpose of my visit should be clear
You’ll understand the details as you die
I see you’re well acquainted now with fear
A sample of the service I supply
Within you, every nerve becomes a string
To pull the screaming puppet of your brain
And I shall make you dance, and leap, and sing
Until these hands release you from your pain
    Your name will be destroyed when I am done
    But I will not forget you were my son
