A movement in the shadows

A flash of blazing light

The child stood before them

With murder in her eyes

The women ran towards her

To try to stem the tide

Of purse and crimson anger

There was nowhere left to hide

Too slow was their reaction

They were thrown back off their feet

Their throats were filled with panic

As they stared as harsh defeat

Too weak was their protection

They couldn't staunch the trail

Of vitriol and vengeance

Meted out for this betrayal

So the mother's brave compatriots

Consumed with damning pain

Died writhing in the dirt

They were bleeding and insane

They'd looked into the child's eyes

And crumbled in despair

From images too hideous

For human minds to bear

Salvation lies in banishing

This creature to the dark

Let not your hand be hesitant

Or death will be your mark"

But there was still one single hope

No room for fear or doubt

The mother knew there was no choice

She had to end this now
