Sarcophagus - Wolfrik

Like peeling back the scab of an old forgotten wound

Infection festers with haste and the host succumbs to inevitable doom

Take care unknowing child for your end is coming soon

That which was laid in ages past escaped

A fume a wretched gas

Consuming all that it contacts skin will sear across the earth

Once thought of as superstition

Burned beyond all recognition

The signs were there but no one listened

Now the tortured screams of its victims fill the air

You cannot hope to make peace with the beast unleashed upon the world

Despite your pleas disease breeds deep within the crowded streets

The blood will curdle

Vengeance flows like venom from the mouth of the serpent

Thrashing out in cold blood at the unsuspecting vermin

Armageddon threats

Oh God

Entombed within the catacombs he rotted

Confined for a crime he did not commit

The unmerciful rage that evolved in that cage withstood an age

Warned but no one cared
