Elegance touches the surface Sharp as a razor blade Silver beneath the moon Wherever friction carries me I cant see, I cant see Grass humbles beneath my feet Grave soil dances with dead leaves Skeletons discuss their breeding I cant 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.
