Lyrics Sarcophagus - Wolfrik

Sarcophagus

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
