As centuries pass there lives a horred breed
Who lurks within the subconscious of man
A fiend who plants its parasitic seed
Within the blood of every vein it can
It warps the mind with poison to the soul
And leaves a man to ruin and forlorn
Of everything he knew and could control
And only then is he to be reborn
With breaking bones contorting as they grow
And muscles twisting into foreign shapes
A creature spawns with yellow eyes that glow
In hunger through the fog of midnight drapes
And only then is he to be reborn
With breaking bones contorting as they grow
And muscles twisting into foreign shapes
A creature spawns with yellow eyes that glow
In hunger through the fog of midnight drapes
Equipped with instincts made to kill, the feast
Begins beneath the mournful, scarlet moon
The scent of salt and iron thrills the beast
As mothers of dismembered sons now plead and croon
The snapping jaws have splintered skulls and limbs
And leave the strongest men in scattered pieces
Within the pools of death the creature swims
Until the sun relieves the mortal leases
The tortured bones retract once more into
The human form they are supposed to be
As consciousness returns with thoughts askew
The eyes once yellow fade and start to see
The ruthless carnage of their heinous breed
The ravaged bodies home to ants and flies
The consequence of the unholy seed
Which plants itself when mercy comes and dies
Equipped with instincts made to kill, the feast
Begins beneath the mournful, scarlet moon
The scent of salt and iron thrills the beast
As mothers of dismembered sons now plead and croon
Equipped with instincts made to kill
