I’ll send you a blanket
Fold it nice and pretty
I’ll slip in a note:
“Someone cares, little one.”
I’ll imagine your face
All ashen and bloody
I’ll whisper to the night:
“Some day Justice will be done.”
I’ll face your assassin
And sit at his trial
I’ll write down a verdict:
“Guilty as charged.”
I’ll tie the noose ‘round his neck
Pull it nice and tight
I’ll hiss in his ear:
“That’s for killing a child.”
I’ll burn in hell’s fires
Dancing in delight
I’ll carve on my skin:
“Justice is served.”
