Dr. Mabuse

Image from “Die 1000 Augen des Dr. Mabuse”
(The 1000 Eyes of Dr. Mabuse)
1960 film by Fritz Lang

The eyes mesmerize
Hypnotize
Not to sympathize
But to brutalize

Doctor, Doctor
You are a watcher
A stalker
Over us, you proctor

Fight the spell we visualize
Synchronize
Dreams crystallize
Not to victimize

Evil, evil
Upon good people
Fearful, for you are
Deceitful

Your soul withers
Slithers
Dripping rivers
Blood shivers

Spirit, Spirit
We are not complicit
Your gory turret
We will not exhibit

The hands strangle
Mangle
But we will untangle
The critical angle

Light, Light
Reveal our plight
Relieve our fright
For we take flight
