Lose Your Soul


Whispers in the mist listen to the wind howl a curse
breathe a prayer as your fingers fumble the blackened rosary
remember your childhood this holy disease begins to take control
watch the man in red robes with a hunger for a salvation
feed your soul to the lies of the demon when you're left forsaken
-----
Shattered pieces of liquid scarlet decorate the forgotten
chants rise from the depths the plague descends without mercy
wretches crawl towards the deceiver ignorance making them weak
count the beads as your frantic eyes see no light on the horizon
feel your mind becoming part of a warped untruth scream so loud
-----
Your heartbeat stutters in the eyes of the tortured beholder
mumble your twisted truths under your breath contorted faces cringe
the doors to the golden light begin to close forever fires creep closer
no hope is left for the people with the mark rosary forgotten falls
eyes close one last time as fires of the deceiver consume forever
