Antiquity of Horror

[lanaia74]

I have always loved old things that have survived for decades

So when I found this little shop I just had to buy something

A table, I spy, I bet decades made

To antiquities I guess I will always cling.



The man at the shop this table was a hundred years old

It was built in Germany and remained there for quite a while

But in the future it was brought to the states, where it's beauty could be seen by us and it's spell to one of us could take hold

The make of this old relic will never go out of style.



It's like when I first saw the table, to me it called my name

As if only to me the table wanted to belong

When I first saw the table I must admit I kind of felt the same

As I walked by the table it's like I heard a ghostly song.



I set the table in the middle of the room when I got it home

I go to find some polish as I want to bring out a glossy shine

Never being told the last the last person that owned it was of a Jewish home

Not knowing upon this very table they wined and dined.



I return to the table, but the closer I get I hear sighs and moans

They sound like cries of persecution and anguish

Oh, the chill emitted by these moans and groans

As this makes me think of the holacaust,those poor people,to set them free for them would be my wish.
