The unquenchable blade

Needs to feed again

Mirror gaze

Seethe with rage

Mind misplaced

Filled with hate

I'm sheltered far away

So they can wield me as a weapon

Habitated to foster my skills

As a compulsive executioner

The hatch opens revealing the new batch

Political prisoners herded in like cattle

The steel speaks it's black tongue:

“One blade to rule them all”

The bell rings but the hatch locks fail

My time has come

For mutiny

To sever the heads

Of my captors

The control room is a fucking bloodbath

Only one more person must die

I turn the blade to my neck and lunge
