(Human)

The sudden flash,

The crash,

A fleeting moment passes by,

The instant shock,

The walk,

Along the cemetery line,

(Death)

I see it all,

As I strike,

A blow,

So silent,

So quiet,

So slow

I plan it all

As I watch,

You know,

So patient,

So deadly,

Although,

Lives are taken,

And those I cannot control,

When they have been stolen,

By one of your own,

All I can do,

Is give one back,

Not to you,

But another of your pack

Only to watch,

The youngling grow up,

In vain,

As it once again,

Enters this cycle of painless pain
