What are 50.000 men on the count of milions
Ample bodies to be covered in body bags
I tie the rope tightly round
Once round
Twice round
Thrice round
Quarter up
knot tied
Eyes dark
lifeless below
Filtered light
50.000 beings of the race of men
Pass underneath my worn out hands
As I tie the rope
Once down
Twice up
Perfect loop
Squandered breath
Lofty pull
Perfect knot
Neck bound
Tied down
50.000 men
That is to say what's left of them
Set alight in one infernal blaze
1 spark
Full ignition
Mind soul
Caught inside
Neck tied
Funeral imminent
Incinerating convenience
Forthcomming solutions
50.000 men among milions,bilions
Death to no possible end
There the grim reaper stands confused
He nods
Looks certain
Yet confused
For something
Without eyes
To lead
Or guide
home bound
50.000 souls to take down into the bowels of the universe
50.000 clocks who's time had not run out
50.000 sins to be added to mankinds sheet
All to have one certain Mr.Grim Reaper astonished by the feat
