Exhume

Disfigured branches lift their arms in praise
Algae-stone, moss, dead leaves lead to their graves
Werewolves in howl with the vampire's plight
Full moon in labor gives birth to the night.

Green mist is swirling blend fog-ridden gloom
Undead roam chanting as wraiths shriek of doom
Intwined with thorns, briars prick you with truth
This is metamorphosis of your youth.

It's as cold as the lives
That have ceased to be
Everyone must be forged
In the fires of iniquity.

The witches, the druids, the warlocks, and saints
Pumpkins are carved black candles are in flame
Shadow men creep with the dance of decay
All hallows haunting, laughter of dismay.

Bonfires rising chase skies of unknown
Cauldron's crawling with flesh, blood, and bone
Cast in the child to boil and brew
This is metamorphosis of your youth.

It's as cold as the lives
That have ceased to be
Everyone must be forged
In the fires of iniquity.

Reduced to ashes thy embers now fade
All hallows hauntings return to their graves
Cleansed with the purge of wise epitome
Exhume your body awake with the sun.

It's as cold as the lives
That have ceased to be
Everyone must be forged
In the fires of iniquity.
