They Haunt These Halls of Hallowed Heart By Wayne Russell




If you douse the lights and
gather in the corner with it
you know that voice of doubt
and of pestilence.

That old devil of trickery and
deceit, those photos come to
life and laugh, depressions way.

Those photos of those whom
have fallen into that finial
serenade of death, laughing now.

They seem to whisper the loudest
when you are alone at night, like
friendly ghost, haunting and waiting.

Do You Dismember By Murders Row

 



             










Or just leave the chaos for another to clean.

Our art, is in the frailty of life.

And our backdrop is your future crime scene. 


Painted in the thoughts of the  twisted, scared in the souls of the self righteous.


Giving voice to the predator and nightmares to the prey.

An artist knows his methods well and we carve them with surgical precision into the soul.


It's only just begun.

The night hides many, as masks shield few.

We are your friends, lovers and enemies all wrapped into one wicked mystery.


Pay close attention, there soon will be a test.

And the stakes are so very high.


Don't look to embittered strangers for the devils of consequence, already whisper gentle as lovers within your ear.


And so the knife sinks in.


















Murders Row are a group of artists who choose to remain anonymous.

Their art is dark as so often is life.

That is all that needs to be said.
