Song of Satan

It started with a magnifying glass 

Sunny summer days 

Spent  lying in the grass 

Away from the prying eyes of mother 

My first time 

The joy I felt 

As they squirmed in agony 

I didn't realize 

These weren't things all children enjoy 

I was an animal lover 

( But not in the conventional way) 

The fish 

They made no sounds 

As they slowly suffocated 

Only opening and closing their mouths. 

The kitten 

They never found 

It tickled me with delight 

As he fought against the full weight of my body ( cats don't like water) 

He put up a good fight 

Thrashing and clawing 

He saw me 

Pull the stuff rotting body 

From my knapsack throwing it into the woods 

He crept up on me, 

Finally a boy I could relate to, 

He told me of a goat he had seen on his way home from school 

We made a plan 

Blood splattering on our hairless nude bodies 

We couldn't stain our clothes 

We laughed as we strung his head up 

Letting his blood trickle down on us 

He smiled, I wanted to kiss him 

I had enjoyed this alone 

But seeing him cloaked in that dark stickiness 

Awakened something in me 

We were fast friends, that summer 

Now I haven't seen him in years 

I still smile when I think of our sacrifice, 

But I've grown up, 

Weekends spent settling on the perfect victim 

Prowling the south side of town 

Nobody ever notices when a prostitute goes missing 

They quench in a pinch 

The occasional drifter or vagabond 

But the real fun happens

With the ones I can take my time with 

The ones in the cellar 

Where nobody can hear their screams but me and my tape recorder, 

Recordings help me sleep at night, among other things 

The fear, the scent of it, 

Cumming as they beg for their lives 

Once you break them they aren't as fun to play with. 

But the memories entertain me for years it's not that bad.

I get rid of them once they start to reek 

I used to keep trophies, now it's too risky 

You never know the secrets people keep

I see that goat from time to time 

He joins me in my dreams 

We laugh and sing together
