Landmark Horror

By Ortolan

If you want to know one thing I think
gather every Earthly item, leave the bedroom sink
If you want to pretend to begin what I know
take up every item you've had, throw it out the window

I don't pretend to spend all my time
beginning to end the demands of my kind
I just defend the dependable lies
now we will find all the demons that hide

Pry apart skullbone, brain in the dark
Key to the ribcage, hell in the cards
Beat of the heart is the thunder of death
All other organs give to Stonehenge

Play those pipes til the satyrs live
Dig up graves til ghosts are outnumbered
Pray to the sky and light all your candles
Fear is something you can not handle

Right in time and wrong is left
Come out of your fighting trench
Wraiths of war engulf population
Witness carnivore inside the nation

I will kill every last human being
Question me, I have my reasons
I will come forth as a torture of sin
Comfort me, because I believe it

Murder is a friend of mine
Devil, the watchman, he is blind
Never pretend to be right upon time
Superstition infecting these minds
