You wrote the drama - the best one in the world About a man who's thirsty for vengeance for misery Like clockwork, quite mechanically and cold He killed for discontinuance of mockery
The prologue: there lived an intelligent man He was dignified, with high moral standards But once he did the deed no one can understand Which leads to imminent slander
They all know what What he has done What are his urges He is observed and mocked He's ridiculed Reputation in danger
He hides his rage under veneer Of smile And he tries to peer Through their smiles
The first act: he tried to change his life He moved away, he ran from his past sin He married a woman she's more a servant than his wife The persecution stopped, he's left with his conscience bin
But somehow all neighbours, all the town Learned the secret which he kept His persecutors told them all that he has done And now they are waiting for his next step
They all know what What he has done What are his urges He is observed and mocked He's ridiculed Reputation in danger
Sodomite Society rejects Parasite Should rot in jail
The second act: he found a decision. He must leave and commit suicide To avoid continuous derision He couldn't fight This unbearable humiliation This moral devastation
Attempts were failed time had not come He was too weak to end his life He's not what he could have become But not himself led him to strife
He had played around with death The way he always played around Until he became deadly serious And new solution was found
The third act: he planned his vengeance In details scrupulously Every step. His future action Will set him free Free from all these eyes - these angry hungry eyes The perfect plan, he saw the signs. And now it's time.
First he killed his wife without pain Because her mind won't understand She's an obstacle to the implementation of his plan Knocked her down, stabbed with the dagger by his hand
Children. Their life was short. The father's debt is to save them from contempt He cut them throats They were best taken care of when they were dead
These ugly men who had forced him to this deed He shot them all - it's the only fate which they all need Two-faced beasts. He did a favor for the world They died in pain. And it was only their fault.
His brother doesn't deserve this kind of life So he set him free - he cut his throat by the knife Brother's family too - it was easy and fast His sister took a poison as he asked

The royal walls - it's the ideal place He set them on fire and died in flames

Is it right? Do you see collusion? No, you sick It's your own delusion.
It's out of pity - you indoctrinated yourself You killed your family exactly as you planned You loved your kids and did not hate your wife You did it fast, they did not even understand
You shot as many people as you could No meter who it was - your hatred has no bounds And now it's done You spread the death all 'round
You always knew one thing And you weren't wrong The best thing which could happen in your life Is you would never been born
The epilogue differs from what you wrote You were kept alive - no execution They locked you down saying that you're insane Stopped prosecution Why? But why? Why? You don't understand. Why? But why? Why? You don't accept this life.
You should be dead. Oh, you should be dead. You're a murderer even if you are mad You can't accept. Oh, you can't accept All these things they said About you Oh, is it true? Are you mad? You don't understand. Death. Where is your death? You should be dead. You don't accept this life.
