So Much More

When you scream in the darkness, I hear
When you cry out for hope, I hear
When you beg for mercy, I hear
When you curse your existence, I hear


                                                      I hear it all...
and I'm coming...
                                                      closerevercloser



Don't lose it yet. I'll take it in the dark...from your helpless body



Your panicked wails are as music to my ears
I gorge myself on the terror of all your fears
To see you desperate, fingernails clawing at the ground
Brings me my pleasure, for you're the only place it's found


So fear, and tremble, as I come near
Screech, and shudder, I'm almost here

Like nails on a blackboard, my laughter screeches
Through you ears, into the farthest reaches

Of your frightened mind, which still knows not

               What true terror is, what I hath brought

To run my claws under your fragile skin
To lacerate and mangle every limb
To taste your blood as a crimson wine
And leave you living for the next time


Could never appease my lust...


                       ...I'll take so much more than your life
