lyrics

Stricken with aphasia we stare upon skeletal remains
In this cottage just beyond the river Skai
Clothes ragged and bodies ravaged by tooth and claw
A notorious duo now wanders oblivion
Logic limits suspects to this sadistic scene
That peculiar caravan and enraged orphaned child
His undecipherable prayer
Provoked the clouds into a nightmarish metamorphosis
Consulting Atal, our curiosity augmented
Dredging his memory, he described
A savage feline assault under twilight fields
Pacing slowly within the masking shadows
Descendants of sphinx coaxed by mysterious forces
Enacted a fury upon these residents
Severing tendons, tearing muscles
Devouring flesh and gnawing bone
Lapping blood with rasp tongue
Assured of immanent death, withdrew
Scent of blood drew hordes of coleopteran
Tear-filled fearful eyes glimpsed
An advancing insect army
Mandibles lacerated and chewed bleeding tissue
Residents screamed repent, till breath left lungs
Sins compounded, retribution was fulfilled
Their bones picked clean
Undiscovered by human eye for days
