The art of the kill
Jamming the jugular
Cutting the carteroid
A flash of steel
Oh how much you bleed
A twist of the neck
The snap of the spine
Your body is paralyzed
Your body is dead
Hangings are hilarious
The body flailing about
Drownings are depressing
Lungs losing their air
My knife slips over the bone
Through the meat to your heart
My foot comes down on you
Crushing your skull on the curb
Scientists call it anatomy
Doctors use it to heal
My kind call it a manual
We use it to kill
The innocent see a horror act
The just see a crime to solve
The pious see a soul to save
Our kind see an art show
We kill for greed

The Journey Begins Ch 2
Chapter 2
Shane paced a circle into the ground in the break room muttering under his breath. It was lunch time for most of the staff and Shane and Christina spent the time wondering what had happened a few minutes ago. Christina sat in one of the rickety green chairs while she picked at her food. She dropped her fork and looked up at Shane.
"Will you please stop that? Pacing around isn't going to change what happened." She said as she looked around the room. Though it was a spacious room, there were still other employees who could listen in or ask about the matter. Shane stopped pacing and sat down in a chair next to her. She noticed his ey

Chapter 1
The dirt crunched under his footsteps as he stopped at the top of the hill. The man looked out at the view before him: a town large enough to be mistaken for a city. He looked upon the inner workings for a few moments. He watched the vehicles rushing by, people setting out for the day and a few police drones hovering throughout the sky. It would seem to be just another rural town if it weren't for the ships flying in towards the spaceport in the distance and the occasional flying car.
There should be someone who can help me here. He thought.
He scanned the town and saw his target. He then set off on a brisk pace down the hill t
I spy with my little eye
Someone who's about to die
I can take you out from afar
I can take you out in your car
I've killed many men before
Because of the men I work for
With you, I'm your supporter
Against you, I'm your habringer
I hide above you in wait
Patience holds me when you're late
I'm like an eye in the sky
One looking for the next to die
I watch you crawl out of your ditch
I say "Smile, you son of a bitch"
Eye for an eye
Tooth for a tooth
Blood for blood
Truth for truth
I'm searching for you
I'm hunting you down
Every day and night
until you are found
Pay for your crimes
Repent all your sins
Even if you don't
I will still win
'Revenge is best served cold'
I say it could be hot
Any way it's served
You're in a tough spot
Eye for an eye
Tooth for a tooth
Blood for blood
Truth for truth
It holds up the birds
It flies past the cars
Too bad you can't feel it
when sailing through the stars
It cools you down
on a warm summer day
It freezes you up
on a cold winter night
Don't fight against it
You'll never get there
Instead flow with it
You can go anywhere
It never stops
It never stays
It always goes
It always plays
Just be careful
And don't invoke it's wrath
You don't want to be part
of a hurricane's aftermath
The bell chimes
Twelve times
For whom the bell tolls
Like thunder, it rolls
The dead rise and wander
From here to on yonder
The Four Horsemen have come
The Apocalypse has begun
Famine sweeps the fields
Every crop will wither and yield
Disease strickens the healthy
All from poor to wealthy
War ravages the land
Destruction comes by his hand
Death consumes all alive
The souls cry when he arrives
This is the end
But only to begin again
I'm a liquid
I'm a gas
whatever you touch
It's always enough
I choke you
I burn you
I chew you away
Whatever I do, you have no say
Through the skin
In the eyes
Or down the throat
Any way is all i need
I can be cured
But you need to know how
Take too long
And you'll never know now
A coward's tool
A biological weapon
Whatever you call me
I can still kill thee
Who am I?
What's my name?
Where am I?
Is this some game?
These hands and arms
Those legs and feet
Are they mine,
Hiding under the sheet?
What is this I see?
What is this light?
It's like the sun
But it's still night
It's clear to me now
My name, my face
I know it all but
Now it's gone without a trace
We live by fire
We die by fire
We set the world alight
Every day and night
It is we who burn the sky
It is we who never die
It only takes seven
To burn the heavens
Only we can escape death's portal
Only we are truly immortal
We rule with our flames
Men fight in our names
I am one of the great
I am one with fate
Time is a passing breeze
It is today that we seize
I shall keep living on
I shall fly unto dawn
