Red Moon, Black Magic

Bloodstained clouds divide
Giving birth to a sickening child

Red moon on the rise
An eye from beyond this world

Is it a sign of doom
Or a tool for some force
- of evil

What did they see
Those beckoned from sleep
Staring into the abyss
Wandering out in the night

Where these poor men damned from start
Or a victim of chance
Did they pay for sins long gone
Or was heaven just blind

Red moon - Black magic
The eye is watching
The world has bent
To the vilest of wills

Mist sweeps through the streets
From the woods come feeble screams
Tonight every sleeping child
Writhers with terrible dreams

Morning has come
Now the spell is broken

But the world holds no signs
Of those who left that night

Now cries are heard
For lovers lost
For brothers gone
And souls devoured

A blind man sits under an oak

Wearing the strangest smile
