The Twisted Willow Tree

by Nick Gisburne





When he turned his tortured mind towards the punishment he took
There was fury in the faces he could see
He could feel their heat, their hatred, heard them laugh with every look
As they tied him to the twisted willow tree
As they made him bleed before they set him free

He will never need the secret of their names
The right to kill their light is all he claims

In the shadows, as he cursed the first with nothing but a blade
With a whisper of forgiveness he was gone
When they heard who he was looking for, the others, all afraid
Fled the city, hit the trail, and travelled on
But the second soul was quickly preyed upon

He will never need the secret of their names
The right to kill their light is all he claims

With a poison quickly slipped inside the shocked tormentor’s meal
He was dead before his choking throat could shout
But the murders of these men were far too clinical to feel
In his darkness there was never any doubt
When he vowed to twist their pain to take them out

With a merciless damnation
In a vicious confrontation
Face to face and eye to eye
He saturates their senses
As they die

Tortured on a tree, he never knew their names
The right to kill was all that he could claim

But tomorrow he will hate what he became
