In my waxen world, stands still Forever frozen flies trapped in amber One perfect preserved, just ere the kill Gruesome atrocities in horror's chamber
Poetry without motion, figures midstream Waxen players in this dark drama of the agape with terror but breathless to scream No rattle heard, nor parting sors
I am of life through my morbid art For each mannequin was truly alive from the So if the eyes seem to your gaze as you gawk Know that in the of the dead, in their shadow you walk
Cadavers molded in wax as their lives buried More preening puppets to perform in the scenes that I cast in the moment of dying preserved How screamed as they met with their fates well deserved
Recreating the of the moment of death My models serve purpose quite well Embalm their in wax, capture their dying breath Drain the fluids to off the smell
Like that dance to their own funeral dirge They play out their death scenes As prized exhibits in my dark reserve They unfold secrets only to me
Life eternal in wax was their death's Suffering for my art, they to me So when their eyes lock with your unflinchingly at death or turn away fast
Skin and softened as it was coated and sealed away Another puppet to prance on the strings that I play The fear ensnared in their countenances I've trapped Mummified and in wax well-woven and wrapped
So sit still in your place at the end of the By my design, hand find you just out of reach Another player in this deathly silent world I have made Devoid of sound, fury or motion, sense, movement or
Awaiting a that never will come You're a bound by my strings Trussed in this of wax, your time here is not done For does not quite end all things
This is my life's work, still, silent place A monument to the frozen in a cold, waxen face Take care not to stare their eyes, whatever you do When you look deep into death, it back into you too
Flesh bubbled and scalded, as molten bath washed life away Wax my still-screaming prey Another piece for my prizing, in my mold harden and set as the wax grows stiff and cold
