The Grinning Man

The grinning man
He's a sadistic man
He likes to hear us cry

He likes when we thrash about
And beg and beg to die

The Grinning man likes his gun
But has us kiss his knife
We listen to his whispers
Then wish he'd end our life

That grinning man has no name
No face. No love. No sympathy.

Nothing but fame.
Absent of dignity.

That man has for us no empathy.


Little one scream in fear
Grinning man oh grinning man
Don't come near!

Grinning man's words work fast
Hitting us and breaking us
He strings out the whips for our pain to last

Grinning man has taken us
To satisfy his bloody lust

Grinning man has sealed our lips with cherry
It taste plain and dreary.

Grinning man moves on to pluck thy beauties strawberries
Leaving us worn and to others scary

Grinning man hacks away our existence
So read our last words and listen

This grinning man is in every man
He comes out late at night
So make sure to sleep tight!
Every night.

Grinning man will be quiet and silent
But make no mistake
He's coming for us
Coming to steal and take
Don't question this just trust

We have thrashed about
But refuse to beg or die.

Grinning man you can suck that gun and kiss upon your own knife

For we no longer are alive
His sadistic ways blackened life
We haunt the rest of souls
Singing tales of what's about to unfold

Grinning man has taken souls
Taken the time to bled them dry
He's broken the innocent
And tonight he'll break mine
He'll whisper that I'm special
That he thinks I'm beautiful
I wont think to struggle
For He has his knife
Oh yes he is taking me
And Grinning man says Goodnight

Grinning man is everyman
So come here and join us in our cries
Grinning man is here
Grinning men come tonight.
