Sadako's Curse

Sadako's Curse
A promise of paradise
to live among disease
rotting from within
leprosy arrives from the sea
At the hour between midnight and one
a century of sin becomes undone

Rising from a watery grave
killed in the name of god
the face of revenge
festering within the fog
At the hour between midnight and one
a century of sin becomes undone
The eyes of death
glowing blood red
as hooks tear into flesh
seeking the cross of corruption
the sixth conspirator dies
