Heretic Sacrifice

A child with a message breaks the glow of day
«Another man is laid to rest! Do you hear the death bell toll?»
Silent procession, a corpse carried to town
Buried by the blade of death
Another soul to the grave
«Taken by a creeping, veiled demon
He drives a scythe into their hearts
Men, they call him death
He who has defiled heaven and the earth."
«Peasant, or king, the beast has always slain
Thy heretic, his sacrifice, committed to demise
Villain, or page, all get buried the same
The serpentine is writhing, I saw it go that way!»
Death will posess you
In a world of hopeless sinners
To harps and loot I see them dance
For this devil scribes his word on every wall
«Heretic Sacrifice»
«Can he be so perilous a naive to meet?
Haunting the brothels, feasting on games of chance.»
He has taken every man, woman and child
Fearless our three
How soon they do forget
«Proceed, to the blighted village of sin
Seek out the demon street by street
Men, they call him death
He who has defiled heaven and the earth."
«Peasant, or king, the beast has always slain
Thy heretic, his sacrifice, committed to demise
Villain, or page, all get buried the same
The serpentine is writhing, I saw it go that way!»
«We shall slain this faithless vermin they call death
We will return
With stories of his end»
In a world of hopeless sinners, to harps and loot I see them dance
For this devil scribes his word on every wall
«Heretic Sacrifice»
«Peasant, or king, the beast has always slain
Thy heretic, his sacrifice, committed to demise
Villain, or page, all get buried the same
The serpentine is writhing, I saw it go that way!»
