To Lead Astray lyrics

What a joy This lovely youth Spring of wonders Delight Rays of sun and Foliage and colors, glowing bright An animal approaching A creature ready to perform His dance macabre Cut the budding life short Nearing the cabin In the green heart of his home What the eye does not see Does not harm the soul A swift act of slicing With filthy animal claws Then a crude mimickry Enough to lead astray one so naive Nearing the cabin In the green heart of his home What the eye does not see Does not harm the soul A mockery of nature and all that is holy The deception found out too late The sight of fur pushing through ancient skin Splitting, cracking Pulling apart her tender flesh Gnawing on small, brittle bones A pool of putrid blood, bile and hair Greeting the one arriving at dusk
