Bloody Crime

In my mind’s eye I raise a dagger
With means to end Duncan’s life
This thought possesses even in slumber
I will commit this ghastly deed
On my servants I’ll place the blame
You must strike. The time is thine
They’ll crown Mac Beth as next in line
This kingdom ours, now is the time
We commit this bloody crime
The deed is finished! What have I done? My eyes see only the stain of red
Consider not so deeply. Your strength is weakness
As pictures are the sleeping and the dead
I cannot return, they all are slain
I now bath in pools of red
This deadly deed hangs on my head
When this night is over I shall be king
And this will all be behind us Go wash our sins away, we’ll be sane tomorrow
When blame is placed and we are cleared
Go now my king to be and do not sorrow
For you and I have kingship near
Tomorrow all will testify
MacBeth is innocent this night
