Elegance touches the surface
Sharp as a razor blade
Silver beneath the moon
Wherever friction carries me
I can’t see, I can’t see
Grass humbles beneath my feet
Grave soil dances with dead leaves
Skeletons discuss their breeding
I can’t see, Death guides me
Hold hands and trip in the sea

Is it enough to keep an enemy
Precious thoughts erupt
Frequent urges consume energy
Gladly embrace sleep

The air is rotten
The aroma of open wounds
Nostrils flare
Under masquerade I smile
Such pleasantries are brief
Agonizing screams
Such pleasantries are brief
Agonizing screams

Sing for me a melody
Darker than the deepest drain
As the knife cuts deeper still
Sing for me a melody
Darker than the deepest pain
Shrill her voice was darker still

Is it enough to kill an enemy
Floating in the sky
Frequent urges consume energy
Gladly embrace sleep

Sing for me a melody
Sing for me a melody
Shrill her voice whines still

Gashes from head to throat gurgle
Dark pits carved in her face laugh
Mocking those whose eyes may shine
Lacerations grin misery
Gaping at her enclosure
Veins cease to flow
Breath is drawn no more

Yet screams echo still

Sing for me a melody
Darker than the deepest drain
Shrill her screams torment me still
Sing for me a melody
Darker than the deepest pain
Shrill her screams torment me still

Very impressive use of repetition, and excellent language. This one definitely grabs the attention. Well done.
