Apparition

Heavily secluded from all but faith

A family in hiding from the world

Firm praying, blind loyalty, reciting words divine

From the eldest to the youngest one

Their sheer belief in the son's return

If not stayed true, in the abyss would burn

The Apparition

A messenger of the eternal scripture

Phantom of shine

Disembodied and descent of heaven

The apparition

Her appearance was so real

Without suspicion

All the prayers of the family were finally heard

On a humid spring evening

When the idyll couldn’t be more perfect

Out from their flower garden

Through the blinders came an overwhelming light

They gathered on the porch and stood and watched in awe

Angelic deity, so clean, like the purest dream

Their fingers laced together

As they dropped to their knees worshipping

Happy pearly tears, oh such beauty lives

Sweet angels they look up on me

The apparition spoke with a silky

Yet whirring voice of wonder

You have been faithful to the omnipotent

I come to grant you a challenge of life

Time to show your true worth to the Lord

A paradise awaits the few undoubting

To measure up and prove them self abiding

Fulfill the needs of dominus

Then it disappeared, the unearthly seer

Left the witnesses impaired

Now they knew for sure that praying

Was the door to his holiness' embrace

The parents and younglings

Went inside and began chanting pages

In front of the altar that they had build

Next to the tepid white tile store

The Apparition

She came and gave them hope

The apparition

Why would she dupe, poor the people thought

Their black bound bible got scrutinized

Inside the father’s head a voice would rise

Which said

An unbeliever (the filthy child)

Among your flock (I order you to punish)

Your scrupling daughter (that whoring freak)

Is against us (and make her bleed)

He yanked her arm and pulled her outside

Shoved her to the dirty wall of the toolshed

While hearing the apparition

Whipped her good 'til it got messy

Grabbed an axe he was steered by frenzy

Just do it the voice kept ranting

As he cut away his little girl

Someone walked up behind him screaming begging

Cried in panic

He turned around and saw his loving wife

Without a blink he then knew to attack her

Voice kept praising

Feeding her the hatchet

As the apparition kept applauding

The spouse's onslaughter

Limbs was flying

The only child remaining was his boy

Who saw the whole thing from the kitchen window

Shocked in terror

Then the voice said I shall appear

You have proven yourself (worthy)

Bring me the last life of your family

Called the boy out then came the light

There it was the apparition

Reached out for his traumatized son ('s small hand)

Free from sin you'll come with me

The Apparition, the messenger of the eternal scripture

Phantom of shine, disembodied and descent of heaven

The apparition, her appearance was so real

Without suspicion, all the prayers

Of the family were finally

The Apparition changed form into a contorted creature

Held the child in its bosom and vanished in a laughter

The father now roams around

The little flower garden

God's work he did it with pride

The final lock on the gate is now open
