The native people of Australia are able to sing law breakers to death; this song is sung for those that deserve and attract it most.

sing another lamentation
songstress
milk my heart of all its sorrow

hum a haunting melody
until my tears flow
in torrents and form
raging rivers of regret

free my soul from its
protective shell
allow sadness
to overtake my being
enable me to absorb
all the pain and injustice
the world has ever known
enable me to dispense sweet
vengeance (justice) on the guilty
and scent the star-spangled prey
for the hounds of hell to track

let me haunt their dreams
and disturb their sleep
sing them to distraction

endow me with the secret
remove them from existence
let poison rain on their heads
and land

whisper secret spells in their ears
and deafen them to reason

empower me with the anguish
of every lost love and every
soul robbed of life and joy
allow me to deliver their reward

let the cry of every murdered child
and the shattering scream
of massacred innocents
find a means through which
retribution can be exacted

crucify the LIE
so the culpable
may surely DIE

SING, my demon lover
sing until the blood
freezes in their veins
