Description Ah, hah.
The axe calls out
Ringing through the night.
Begging me to release it,
To take it out in sight.

Well dear friend,
You've always been a
Loyal companion.
I suppose I can do you a favor
By feeding your lust for blood.

Step one,
We need a victim.
Someone easy to release.
And if we end up failing,
We will escape from police.

But I know,
That need not be a problem
Because you and I,
Dear friend,
Are professionals.

And so we sneak
Into a room
Of unconscious thoughts.
I raise you up,
And you throw yourself down.

Upon the victim's neck,
You lie between the veins.
I watch in all your majesty
While I'm bound to you
By invisible chains.

Oh, dear friend,
We can't stop here now!
There's so much more to do.
So many possible "wines"
To taste!

Ah, you see,
After tonight I will be
Betrayed by my own friend.
He will wrap his blade into my head,
But I do not know when...

He lies
In the same hands I held
My wife and child in,
Waiting for the time to strike,
I see it raising up and then

Oooh I like it! There's something very Sweeney Todd-esque about it.
On a technical note, I don't think that "wine" should be in quotations, I feel like it disturbs the metaphorical flow, and that the symbolism is easy to see without them. But very good work!!!
