In my waxen world, time stands Forever frozen like flies in amber One perfect moment preserved, ere the kill Gruesome atrocities transfixed in horror's
Poetry motion, figures stranded midstream Waxen players in this dark of the macabre Mouths agape with terror but to scream No death rattle heard, nor parting
I am preserver of through my morbid art For each mannequin was truly alive the start So if the eyes seem to your gaze as you gawk Know in the eyes of the dead, in their shadow you walk
Cadavers molded in wax as lives buried away More puppets to perform in the scenes that I play Features cast in the moment of dying How they screamed as they met with their fates well
Recreating the of the moment of death My models serve their quite well their bodies in wax, capture their dying breath Drain the fluids to off the smell
Like dolls that dance to own funeral dirge They play out their death interminably As prized their exhibits in my dark They their secrets only to me
Life eternal in wax was death's decree Suffering for my art, they to me So when their eyes with your gaze Look unflinchingly at death or away fast
Skin blistered and softened as it was and sealed away preserved puppet to prance on the strings that I play The ensnared in their captive countenances I've trapped and memorialized in wax well-woven and wrapped
So sit still in your at the end of the blade By my design, hand find you just out of reach Another player in deathly silent world that I have made Devoid of sound, or motion, sense, movement or speech
a terminus that never will come You're a marionette bound by my Trussed in this tomb of wax, your time is not done For does not quite end all things
This is my life's work, this still, place A monument to the frozen in a cold, waxen face Take not to stare into their eyes, whatever you do When you look deep into death, it sees into you too
Flesh bubbled and scalded, as this molten bath life away Wax covered my still-screaming Another for my prizing, recast in my mold harden and set as the wax grows stiff and cold
