Charles Dexter Ward - The Wretch Screamed Forth

The wretch screamed forth
As flames sake through
A wizard cunning
Alchemy pure
Craft elixir
Life eternal
Hate filled man
Eyes coal black
Wretch of a creature
Loathed by all
Went to scour
Herbs for potions
Fell into trap
Put to the stake
The wretch screamed forth
Bloody murder
As flames sake through
Affront to God
Burn
Flames did nothing
Just passed over
But he screamed
Felt the pain
Flesh not charred
But Convulsing
As he cried
To be saved
The elixir
Kept him intact
But the fire
Burned him still
Then he carved
A pentagram
In his flesh
Chanting aloud
The wretch screamed forth
Bloody murder
As flames sake through
Affront to God
The wretch screamed forth
Magic phrases
As flames sake through
Burning body
The wretch burned
Scorched by flame
