12 days of.... Something....

This is a piece submitted by our very own Novembertrees in one of her more Christmassy moods. Enjoy.


(As performed by Sabat, arranged by Penance)

On the first day of Christmas
My victims gave to me
A carcass in my chimney...

(Penance, are you sure this is right?
You are?
Well, okay...
)

On the second day of Christmas
My victims gave to me
Two mismatched eyeballs
And a carcass in my chimney...

On the third day of Christmas
My victims gave to me
Three severed legs
Two mismatched eyeballs
And a carcass in my chimney...

On the fourth day of Christmas
My victims gave to me
Four rotting heads
Three severed legs
Two mismatched eyeballs
And a carcass in my chimney...

On the fifth day of Christmas
My victims gave to me
Five ruptured spleens
Four rotting heads
Three severed legs
Two mismatched eyeballs
And a carcass in my chimney...

(I dunno, Penance.
This just doesn't sound like what I heard at the mall....
)

On the sixth day of Christmas
My victims gave to me
Six livers leaking
Five ruptured spleens
Four rotting heads
Three severed legs
Two mismatched eyeballs
And a carcass in my chimney...

On the seventh day of Christmas
My victims gave to me
Seven brains a-bouncing
Six livers leaking
Five ruptured spleens
Four rotting heads
Three severed legs
Two mismatched eyeballs
And a carcass in my chimney...

On the eighth day of Christmas
My victims gave to me
Eight tiny toes
Seven brains a-bouncing
Six livers leaking
Five ruptured spleens
Four rotting heads
Three severed legs
Two mismatched eyeballs
And a carcass in my chimney...

On the nineth day of Christmas
My victims gave to me
Nine feet of intestine
Eight tiny toes
Seven brains a-bouncing
Six livers leaking
Five ruptured spleens
Four rotting heads
Three severed legs
Two mismatched eyeballs
And a carcass in my chimney...

On the tenth day of Christmas
My victims gave to me
Ten unmarked graves
Nine feet of intestine
Eight tiny toes
Seven brains a-bouncing
Six livers leaking
Five ruptured spleens
Four rotting heads
Three severed legs
Two mismatched eyeballs
And a carcass in my chimney...

On the eleventh day of Christmas
My victims gave to me
Eleven spinal cords
Ten unmarked graves
Nine feet of intestine
Eight tiny toes
Seven brains a-bouncing
Six livers leaking
Five ruptured spleens
Four rotting heads
Three severed legs
Two mismatched eyeballs
And a carcass in my chimney...

On the twelfth day of Christmas
My victims gave to me
Twelve days of feasting
Eleven spinal cords
Ten unmarked graves
Nine feet of intestine
Eight tiny toes
Seven brains a-bouncing
Six livers leaking
Five ruptured spleens
Four rotting heads
Three severed legs
Two mismatched eyeballs
And a carcass in my chimney...

(...Was that where we got Christmas dinner from?
No, you're right.... The grocery store just doesn't carry stuff like that....).
