Frostbitten Snowman

Snow falls quiet on a nowhere road

Midnight ride for a death-row ghost

Chains rattle — sirens fade

Chemical rain seals his fate

All their names the cold air knows

Vengeance takes the form of snow

Not a fairy tale — not pretend

Winter wears a human end

Every drift hides what he’s done

Smile stays fixed — the killing’s fun

Frostbitten snowman

Born from the grave

Melts and reforms

Won’t stay in a cage

Frostbitten snowman

Cold revenge in disguise

Hatred comes frozen

With coal-black eyes

Lights go dark on a Christmas tree

Wired tight for a hanging plea

Glass ornaments kiss the face

Holiday cheer in a murder case

Sirens scream — curfew locks

Cruiser crushed in a rolling shock

Icicles fly like loaded rounds

Snow learns how to hunt the town

Frostbitten snowman

Born from the grave

Melts and reforms

Won’t stay in a cage

Frostbitten snowman

Cold revenge in disguise

Hatred comes frozen

With coal-black eyes

"Well it ain’t fucking frosty"

Thumpety-thump-thump

Painting the snow in red

Thumpety-thump-thump

Leaving them cold and dead

Frostbitten snowman

Drowned in the green

Antifreeze flooding

Burns him obscene

Frostbitten snowman

Sealed underground

Buried in silence

Not to be found

Well he laughed goodbye

said "better hope you die"

"I’ll be back to make you pay"
