Hell's Handpuppets - Broken Hope

Newly dead not to be interred or cremated

Fresh corpses have a post-mortem purpose

Laid out upon slabs in a lunatic’s workshop

All to provide some macabre entertainment

The marionettist animates the dead

Manipulating deceased dancing dolls

Perverse puppeteer with skeletal skills

A true master of hell’s handpuppets

The stage awaits and so does its gory glory

But so much must be done before showtime

Disemboweling and dislocating limbs

Preserving the flesh to ward off rot

Punching holes into hands and feet

Soon these horrifying puppets move

Strings connect important members

Pulling the inanimate into animation

A mad marionette controls the dead

Gruesome games and human taxidermy

The bloodless cadaver dances beneath dim lights

Hallowed screams cleave this chiller theater

The marionettist animates the dead

Manipulating deceased dancing dolls

Perverse puppeteer with skeletal skills

A true master of hell’s handpuppets
