In my waxen world, time stands Forever frozen like trapped in amber One perfect moment preserved, just ere the Gruesome atrocities transfixed in chamber
without motion, figures stranded midstream Waxen in this dark drama of the macabre agape with terror but breathless to scream No death rattle heard, nor sors
I am of life through my morbid art For mannequin was truly alive from the start So if the eyes seem to your gaze as you gawk Know that in the eyes of the dead, in their shadow you
Cadavers molded in wax as their lives buried More preening to perform in the scenes that I play Features cast in the moment of preserved How they screamed as they met their fates well deserved
Recreating the of the moment of death My models serve their purpose quite Embalm their bodies in wax, capture their breath Drain the to stave off the smell
dolls that dance to their 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 death's decree Suffering for my art, surrendered to me So their eyes lock with your gaze Look unflinchingly at death or turn 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 captive countenances I've Mummified and in wax well-woven and wrapped
So sit still in your at the end of the blade By my design, death's hand you just out of reach Another player in this deathly silent world that I made Devoid of sound, fury or motion, sense, or speech
Awaiting a terminus never will come You're a bound by my strings Trussed in this tomb of wax, your here is not done For does not quite end all things
This is my life's work, this still, silent A monument to the fear in a cold, waxen face Take care not to into their eyes, whatever you do When you look deep into death, it sees back you too
bubbled and scalded, as this molten bath washed life away Wax covered my prey Another for my prizing, recast in my mold harden and set as the wax grows stiff and cold
