Escaping The Alter

Once upon a time there was a modern fair maiden

With a lifetime that looked ever bright

Last of pure and innocence was her guard

Yet she's open for attack

But wanting excitment she sought

To fulfill a desire deep inside

Now comes a decision for love and forgiveness

She said: I don't need this foolish Christ!

Instead it was time for a dive into life

To see how far she could go

Throwing away her freedom

She's looking for her chains

With a heart turned hard, back to a way

That could save her life

She ventures out in a curious fashion

With no caution or fear

To see what she could find

Huh? What kind of story is this?

Recriter with crafty evil

Looking for their prey

There's an evening of high evil approaching

Thieves of lost and lonely children

Sbatching lives for deadly gain

Feeling secure

In a crowd that gives you welcome

Friends who you know

But you don't know

She loves their mysterious ways and the presence

They bring to her life

But what she doesn't know

She'll prove curiosity killed the cat

Sure I believe in Satan

She exclaims with unstable thought

She goes through a door

And can't get back through

Now the test

The night came

When unspoken wickedness became reality

Before me they showed

Their truest evil and every form of lust, perversion and blasphemy

With hunger for more

I scream: I can't get involved in this!

They smiled, you're already in

And soon you'll be the main event!

The night has come, ceremonial alter

Waiting to be painted with the blood of the weak

Black robes surrounding the sacrifice

To be slain in white

Her body and blood brings them power

They hunger for the feast

I can't express the horrors

And sadness of this place

As hell itself is visiting

Through a five pointed star

I hear chanting sung by demons

And a choir of despairing void

As they prepare ceremonial alter

For their lord Satan

I'm running for my life

A despairing victim with no escape

I caught and returned to the alter of death

My face to the black sky

Winds begin to stir

I lie a wait for my fateful death

There's a dark one now I can see

Waiting to take me down

I realize the life I could've had

With the God of love and power

But I turned and spat on his face

And sought a foolish desire

There's no winner in the game they play

The killer and the prey

Will burn in torment

Screaming and pleading I beg for life

Then I stop and only cry

The draw and encircle

About me for the time has finally come

Oh Lord, please God help me

The dagger's coming down!
