Heavily secluded from all but faith, a family in hiding from the world Firm praying, blind loyalty, reciting words divine, from the eldest to the youngest one Their sheer belief in the son’s return, if not stayed true, in the abyss would burn
The apparition, a messenger of the eternal scripture Phantom of shine, disembodied and descent of heaven The apparition, her appearance was so real Without suspicion, all the prayers of the family were finally heard
On a humid spring evening when the idyll couldn’t be more perfect Out from their flower garden, through the blinders came an overwhelming light
They gathered on the porch and stood and watched in awe Angelic deity, so clean, like the purest dream Their fingers laced together, as they dropped to their knees worshipping Happy pearly tears, oh such beauty lives
Sweet angels dei look up on me, the apparition spoke with a silky yet whirring voice of wonder You have been faithful to the omnipotent, I come to grant you a challenge of life Time to show your true worth to the Lord
A paradise awaits the few undoubting To measure up and prove them self abiding Fulfill the needs of dominus
Then it disappeared, the unearthly seer, left the witnesses impaired Now they knew for sure that praying was the door to his holiness’ embrace The parents and younglings went inside and began chanting pages In front of the altar that they had built next to the tepid white tile store
The apparition, she came and gave them hope The apparition, why would she dupe, poor the people thought
Their black bound bible got scrutinized, inside the father’s head a voice would rise
Which said An unbeliever (the filthy child) among your flock (I order you to punish) Your scrupling daughter (that whoring freak) is against us (and make her bleed)
He yanked her arm and pulled her outside, shoved her to the dirty wall of the tool shed While hearing the apparition Whipped her good ‘til it got messy, grabbed an axe he was steered by frenzy Just do it the voice kept ranting
As he cut away his little girl, someone walked up behind him screaming begging Cried in panic He turned around and saw his loving wife, without a blink he then knew to attack her Voice kept praising Feeding her the hatchet as the apparition kept applauding the spouse’s onslaughter Limbs was flying The only child remaining was his body who saw the whole thing from the kitchen window Shocked in terror
Then the voice said I shall appear, you have proven yourself worthy Bring me the last life of your family Called the boy out then came the light, there it was the apparition Reached out for his traumatized son’s small hand Free from sin you’ll come with me
The apparition, a messenger of the eternal scripture Phantom of shine, disembodied and descent of heaven The apparition, her appearance was so real Without suspicion, all the prayers of the family were finally
The apparition changed form into a contorted creature Held the child in its bosom and vanished in a laughter The father now roams around the little flower garden God’s work he did it with pride, the final lock on the gate is now open
