Black Path

As I explore the sewers
I discover her taken to a chamber
Where a man awaits

Bring him to me, I will decide
Everyone chosen, everyone dies
He will be our perfect sacrifice
To our God who demands it

He wears a serpent mask to cover his lies
He spews his venom unto his loyal congregation
As I prepare to die alone
I see those familiar faces
A man and boy, father and son
My head is bowed on the sacrificial stone
His blade risen to execute
As it falls it shreds flesh
A boy drenched, covered in the blood of this father
He waivers not
You deceived the few, you betrayed us all
Traitor
