Title: When Sirens Call

A/N: A poem, reflecting my own personal observations on Silent Hill's infamous executioner and punisher, Pyramid Head.

A creature of darkness neither living nor dead

The scrape of rusted metal, upon his approach they fled

He need not heed pleas of forgiveness nor anguish

For it is simply his duty to slay and banish

...

When sirens call prepare to run

For some time after he is sure to come

Within a broken reality he forever stumbles

A voiceless husk, he merely groans and mumbles

...

The ring of metal and thwack of cleaved flesh

Congealed grime and raw inards meet and mesh

Relish he does in their agony and woe

Once slain and gutted he proceeds onward, flayed body in tow

...

In search of those to mercilessly slay

He need not hunt by light of day

Blood soaked apparel and stench of decay

His flesh mutilated, lacerated and grey

...

The representation of impending demise

Fear is struck into mortals and all creatures alike

Blindly he stumbles for his eyes do not see

Yet he still senses the stench of lust and greed

...

The weight of his atrocities and misdeeds forever seep

From the driven bolts on which his rusted prison sits deep

Sins and callousness, his to bear forever more

His passion, his duty to slay with abhor
