There he lies;
Haunted, hunted, beaten
Tortured, hanged and eaten
Encumbered by the past of these seven apparitions
"Where am I?"
"Did I just die?"
No one in sight
Scanning his surroundings for where they might lie
The prisoners, one by one, left him traumatized
Now only seven empty stakes pierce a blood red sky
He runs but stumbles, tries to crawl, to flee from this macabre scene
With broken bones,
Blind and shocked, can't comprehend what he has seen
The wet earth trembles and war winds
Howl like Wehrmacht-wolves on hungry prowl
"These fields are more than I can see! I cannot take this!"
These fields are lurking as black hail falls like ashen blades
These fields are closing in to bury him with frozen spades
On bitter taste of blood he gags
Dragging on with broken legs
To break loose
From the horrid stench
Of burning lives and burning flags
With elbows through the mud he drags himself forward! Forward!
"I shall escape this plot. I must! I will!"
The wind lies down and the earth stands still
Black hail fire stings no more
Dear lord above, did I escape that hellish place of gore?
NO!
He ends up
Where it all began
Seven pair of demon eyes
Seven fearsome demon smiles
Trapped in a paranormal chain
Bound to suffer endless warfare, torture, fear and pain
So ends this tale of fates aligned
A prophecy of war entwined
Into bloody knots that won't unwind
This ominous recording is all
That's left behind:
"Sunday, October third, 6 p.m. rain..."
