There is Sorrow in Deciet
The sun is bright on a cloudless day
The children are laughing, as they go out to play, as they go out to play
Darkness falls and mother calls
The children are missing, so she bows her head to pray, so she bows her head to pray
There's a serpent in the garden, and it's sneaking by unseen
And the plague it carries with it will murder everything
It's a nasty disease, on a killing spree
You're no longer safe here, so you surrender the key, so you surrender the key
It's a cloudless day and the light you see
Is eclipsed by the moon, and it will forever be, and it will forever be
There's a serpent in the garden, and it's sneaking by unseen
And the plague it carried with it, has murdered everything
So take heed to this warning, before you begin mourning
For the souls it dragged along it's way, not entirely unforeseen
Not entirely unforeseen.
