Piercing

A scream to tear the night

Frantic shriek of disharmony

Holwing ‘fore the scythe

Keening

In horrid melody

Coloratura crescendo

Macabre elegy

Elegy

Death, another corpse is thine to collect

Its soul is reaped through tragedy

Cries the herald of the dead

She moves with the mist her gown flowing forth

Her grace enthrals though tongue is sharp

Her wail sets the score
