Golgothan - Leech Lyrics

The imagination of a child is boundless
Extraordinary worlds surround them
Beautiful until it turns to shit
They wander aimlessly without recourse to
Diversity of powers that be and occasionally

Stumble into a realm built on detriment
Where the number one priority is enslavement
A playground?
A coffin?
Why would they understand the difference?
They're just kids

The construct of garments becomes the ideal
Hiding place to a child at the mall
But what lurks beyond the whimsical darkness?
A question that will remain unknown

As he crawls deep into the mouth of the beast
Tendrils enshroud his body, guzzling his innocence
Perplexed with empathy, he is intrigued
Won't you stay awhile and play with me?

His body, a vessel, now free
Unobstructed from passage between what is tangible
And what lies beneath
A conduit of the deep

The cave that he entered in was not a window, but a door
He's too far
It's too late
He's already welcoming darkness

Greeting what follows it
Evil will leech for eternity with no reprieve
A slew of emptiness taking control of him
In a clothing rack of the mall, forgotten

His limp body is silently writhing as adults pass by
A ghost to their attention
A haunting premonition
Two children embracing despite their differences
Kneeling within the darkness
Misery has give birth

The wretched soul once was free as well
Frolicking with blissful glee
When suddenly the rack caught his eye and sealed his fate
