Dark times and bleak signs circle in my head As the devil whispers in my ear while I lie in bed Coming like the raven at the final bell To carry my unworthy soul down to cold cold hell The dead prophets of false messiahs Whisper eldritch mantras peddling the souls of pariahs And begging me for my own life As the new moon glints with impossible light on the edge of the knife All these decaying archaic arcane ramblings bouncing in my skull Slicing through my grey matter like knives and leaving me dull, I come face to face with the dead prophets and the devil they serve, And then I wake up and hide from my mirror.

Dead Prophets
Dark times and bleak signs circle in my head As the devil whispers in my ear while I lie in bed Coming like the raven at the final bell To carry my unworthy soul down to cold cold hell The dead prophets of false messiahs Whisper eldritch mantras peddling the souls of pariahs And begging me for my own life As the new moon glints with impossible light on the edge of the knife All these decaying archaic arcane ramblings bouncing in my skull Slicing through my grey matter like knives and leaving me dull, I come face to face with the dead prophets and the devil they serve, And then I wake up and hide from my mirror.
