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.
