In my waxen world, time stands Forever frozen like trapped in amber One perfect moment preserved, just ere the Gruesome atrocities in horror's chamber
Poetry without motion, figures stranded Waxen players in this drama of the macabre Mouths agape terror but breathless to scream No death rattle heard, nor parting
I am preserver of life through my art For each was truly alive from the start So if the seem to follow 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 preening puppets to perform in the scenes I play Features cast in the moment of dying How they screamed as they met their fates well deserved
Recreating the horror of the of death My models serve their purpose well their bodies in wax, capture their dying breath Drain the to stave off the smell
Like dolls that dance to own funeral dirge They play out their scenes interminably As their exhibits in my dark reserve They their secrets only to me
Life eternal in wax was their death's for my art, they surrendered to me So when their eyes lock with gaze Look unflinchingly at death or turn fast
Skin and softened as it was coated and sealed away Another preserved puppet to prance on the that I play The fear in their captive countenances I've trapped Mummified and memorialized in wax and wrapped
So sit still in your place at the end of the By my design, death's hand find you just out of Another player in this deathly world that I have made Devoid of sound, fury or motion, sense, or speech
a terminus that never will come You're a marionette by my strings Trussed in this tomb of wax, time here is not done For time does not quite end all
This is my life's work, still, silent place A monument to the fear frozen in a cold, waxen Take not to stare into their eyes, whatever you do When you look deep into death, it sees back you too
Flesh bubbled and scalded, as this molten washed life away Wax my still-screaming prey Another piece for my prizing, in my mold Features harden and set as the wax grows and cold
