A Massacre in the North

Bound next to each other
On the floor
Wire and tape tied
Stripped of flesh
Are wrists and ankles
Claw-hammered strangled and cut to death
Stab marks on the walls
Red stained the floors
Spray patterns throughout the ceiling
A butcher knife and a hammer
Covered in blood lying on a table
Used with no precision
Claw-hammered strangled and cut to death…
The strangers come from the woods
Silently
In a frenzy of violence…
A young one taken
Not to be found
A memento of flesh
A memento of blood
Mortals are taking these souls
Misery holds the darkness
Solitude among the trees
Only the cabin remains
To speak in silence
A memento of flesh
A memento of blood…
Claw-hammered strangled and cut to death
Claw-hammered strangled and cut to death…
