"The Macabre Musician" from The German satirical magazine Der Wahre Jacob 1913

Introduction

Though this is for the Vocal "Don't Turn Around" Challenge, I wanted to use the image that The Enchanted Booklet shared in a story or poem. Check out the full story of the image here:

The music is "Death Walks Behind You" by Atomic Rooster

☠️⚰️🕸️🪦🎻🪦🕸️⚰️☠️
Walking Through The Cemetry Late At Night
The Scraping Sound Of Death's Violin Sounds
Don't Turn Around, Don't Look Back, You Will Die
🪦🎻🪦
Does Imagination Create Your Fright
You Are Far Too Worried To Turn Around
Walking Through The Cemetry Late At Night
🪦🎻🪦
Followed In This Dark Place, There Is No Light
A Presence You Feel, Fear Destroys Your Mind
Don't Turn Around, Don't Look Back, You Will Die
🪦🎻🪦
If You Turn Will You See A Ghostly Sight?
Or Just Weathered Gravestones In These Church Grounds
Walking Through The Cemetry Late At Night
🪦🎻🪦
Cometh The Witching Hour, Close To Midnight
You Know That You Must Never Turn Around
Don't Turn Around, Don't Look Back, You Will Die
🪦🎻🪦
The Iron Cemetry Gates Are In Sight
A Horror Is Lurking In These Church Grounds
Walking Through The Cemetry Late At Night
Don't Turn Around, Don't Look Back, You Will Die
