Gray flesh sown and stitched to blue flesh Staples reflect the silvery moonlight The professor scurries about like a crab around the massive human-like Creature on the cold metal slab The monster isn't alive, not yet anyway The professor is hurrying now To make sure everything is perfect before the time comes Wires and cables run from the monsters flesh to an assortment of Machines that whirl and flash with color The machines look like monsters themselves, far more scary then the one on the operating table... The professor, my master, says that this HAS to work... I do not doubt my masters genius But I fear the monster I helped him build From bodies we stole from the morgue where the professor works He says that if it works he will make more I do not understand how the machines, lighting and moonlight and all that complicated things work My mind is too simple for such things I simply serve my master and do what he asks The monster will be my masters greatest achievement The greatest achievement science has ever seen! I know I won't be remembered, my role is too simple for that It will not be written down how I cut up those smelly corpses And sown the dead flesh together to make something new It will not be written how cold it is to sleep on the uneven castle floor With no more then straw and a moth eaten blanket for warmth No, it will not be written down that I was the one to pull the switch No, I will not be remembered but the monster will be The monster my master would not have been able to create without me Me, his faithful servant Me, his pitiful slave Me, the sower of flesh and assistant of a mad man A crazed genius, with skin as white as paper And cold as ice, how my masters eyes almost glow as the time draws near There is not trace of fear on my masters white face With a wild grin that reveals his crooked tombstone like teeth He commands me to do what all the others before me were born to do I reach out my green/grayish hand and... Obey... I pull the black cold lever with the red *** on top
The artificial lighting flashes! The moonlight quivers! The machines scream as if alive, as if in pain!
The monster writhes and convulses with life Suddenly as if someone had turned a switch everything dies The machines the artificial lighting even the moonlight is gone Pure darkness, solid almost tangible blackness And just as quickly as it had left all the light and noise came back And there strapped to the cold metal slab The monster lay still The defeat, The utter hopelessness, The grief that now was etched so deeply in my beloved masters pale face broke my simple heart And as I was about to take a step towards my master Something, I don't know what made me look towards the monster
