Literature Text

Come now, it's waiting for you,
The hooded man stands at the ready.
Don't be shy, step right up,
And keep those trembling hands steady.

Chin up, shoulders back, don't slouch,
Keep in step with the beat of the drum.
Keep up, don't let them pass,
They're calling for you to come now, come.

Hear them whisper in your ear,
"Don't look back, don't look back, don't look back."
Oh hear them crying out,
"Don't look back; never, ever, look back."

For they have hung all your friends,
Set fire to what you held precious,
And they murdered your love.
Oh how could such a thing be vicious.

Come now, they're waiting for you,
The hooded man stands waiting, for you.
The platform sits ready.
A rope hanging from it, just for you.
I think I wrote this a month ago...
o3o Hm.
