In my waxen world, stands still Forever like flies trapped in amber One moment preserved, just ere the kill Gruesome transfixed in horror's chamber
Poetry motion, figures stranded midstream Waxen in this dark drama of the macabre Mouths agape with but breathless to scream No death rattle heard, nor sors
I am preserver of life my morbid art For each mannequin was alive from the start So if the eyes to follow your gaze as you gawk Know that in the eyes of the dead, in their you walk
Cadavers molded in wax as their lives away More preening puppets to perform in the scenes that I Features cast in the moment of preserved How they screamed as met with their fates well deserved
Recreating the of the moment of death My models serve their purpose quite Embalm their bodies in wax, capture dying breath Drain the fluids to stave off the
Like that dance to their own funeral dirge play out their death scenes interminably As prized their in my dark reserve They their secrets only to me
Life eternal in wax was their decree for my art, they surrendered to me So when eyes lock with your gaze unflinchingly at death or turn away fast
Skin blistered and softened as it was coated and sealed Another preserved puppet to prance on the strings I play The fear ensnared in their captive I've trapped Mummified and in wax well-woven and wrapped
So sit in your place at the end of the blade By my design, death's hand find you out of reach Another player in this deathly silent world 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 tomb of wax, your time here is not done For does not quite end all things
This is my life's work, this still, 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 back into you too
Flesh bubbled and scalded, as this molten bath washed away Wax my still-screaming prey Another for my prizing, recast in my mold harden and set as the wax grows stiff and cold
