The Ghoul's Lament

Why am I hung in chains, For the crows who peck my eyes, And delve with black beaks into my brains? Lies! The crimes they blame on me, all lies. I never harmed a living man, I killed no one. I merely took what I found in the ground, I always returned the bones when I was done. No harm did I, but fiend and Hell Hound You called me, monster and ghoul. The body, is nothing after the soul has left, If not I then the worms. Why need you be so cruel?
