MURDERERS HOLIDAY

Evil from hell

MURDERERS HOLIDAY

By R. A. Merritt

The havocs came out of the fog with faces wretched and forlorn

Born to us from hell born upon the storm

A vacation from the nether world Satan has granted these few

To alight upon the living to do the things they knew

To do the things they knew to do the things they've done

To smite the good and bad in revelatory fun

And one can hear the terror where these monsters feet have tread

Leaving blood where they walk and many prone and dead

And when their victims wail and bade the reason why

Why this compulsion they possess why must it be they die

The havocs will roar with laughter a horrid sound it be

And declare to these inquiries it merely be destiny

It was written upon tablets from Ages undefined

Deemed before the minutes even merged themselves with time

And we be just the servants of Satan and God as well

They be one in the same ruling heaven, down deep in hell 

We obey their whims we act on what they say

And they the ones who grant us this murderers holiday

Author's Note

The duality of man such as when the Colonel in "Full Metal Jacket" asks Joker Man (Mathew Modine) the reason he is wearing a peace symbol and the words "Born To Kill" on his helmet Modine says "The Duality Of Man".
