Sawlitaire Poem by Ramona Thompson

(Dark parody of the classic song Solitaire. Inspired by the hit motion picture Saw)

There is a man
A man who will take away your life
Oh no, no
He won't stand for your wicked indifference
A heart that don't care will not go unspared
Your blacked soul will die
Cruel in the coldness of his bleak silence

And sawitaire is the deadliest game in town
And every one that he takes down that long lonely sinners road
Will meet him soon in their own personal Hell that he's made
Made just for them
While the cops search at a loss
Looking for his victims everywhere
High and low
High and low
He's playing sawitaire

And keeping his dark secrets to himself, he begins to deal out their punishments
And still the king of the coldest, cruelest hearts is well concealed
As another loser's life comes to an end
And once more he deal out his victim's most fearful fates
In puzzles that must be solved or death is the reward awarded to them

A little hope he blows up in smoke
Just how he does it goes without saying
There is a man, a killer at heart
Who will command your very soul just by the cold hand he plays tonight

And sawitaire is the deadliest game in town
And every one that he takes down that long lonely sinners road
Will meet him soon in their own personal Hell that he's made
Made just for them
While the cops search at a loss
Looking for his victims everywhere
High and low
High and low
He's playing sawitaire

And keeping his dark secrets to himself, he begins to deal out their punishments
And still the king of the coldest, cruelest hearts is well concealed
As another loser's life comes to an end
And once more he deal out his victim's most fearful fates
In puzzles that must be solved or death is the reward awarded to them
