Ringleader

Platinum stars provide light
As the night's skin turns into coal
Glinting off conspirator's incisors
While they discuss their victim's soul

She's laying in damp sod
Choking on the fabric round her mouth
Glassy eyes reflecting the flames overhead
Held high by the vicious crowd

The ringleader bends low
Tracing his tongue across her cheek
Leaving a trail of slick acid
She forces her stomach not to heave

Yellowed teeth laced with tobacco and lies
In the dim light, he cracks a grin
She sees Satan himself in the cruel man's face
And he reveals his desire to sin

With a menacing cackles he enters her
Filling her up with his pride and joy
Her screams tear through the cloth
As her innocence he destroys

The others cheer and laugh along
Splattering spit and beer on her naked form
Twisting and writhing, the clouds cry out
And Satan's fury fills the forest with a storm

Snuffing out the torches in her hair
The men set light brown tresses ablaze
Captain pulls out, admires his comrades work
As the young girl's life essence is razed

Dark leather boots stamp out the flames
Their fun lying in ashes before them
They turn and leave, each one dropping
Any morality left to condemn
