The Relic (Part 1)

He was drawn into the Shaman's sacred place

Where the relic calls his name

Just a minion in its game

In a trance-like state a vessel for it's needs

Oh, on innocence it feeds

The relic whisked away

From the window he sees his father coming home

From his trips around the world

He feels his presence drawing near

Clenching tightly to this evil, heinous thing

His father gives the gift to him

He feels the power from within

It awakens preying on this child

And its evil seeping in

A millennia begins

As the tears fall from the Shaman's eyes

The boy is filled with sin

And corruption swells within

The relic's evil grows and twists within the boy

Entombed and bound within his soul

He sees his flesh begin to crawl

Ancient being spews and fills him with its hate

Oh, and death will pave its way

Building kingdoms of dismay

It awakens preying on this child

And its evil seeping in

A millennia begins

As the tears fall from the shaman's eyes

The boy is filled with sin

And corruption swells within

It awakens preying on this child

And its evil seeping in

A millennia begins

As the tears fall from the shaman's eyes

The boy is filled with sin

And corruption swells within

As he looks in his father's eyes

Life drains from him

Blood spills, painting the earth

Beneath his feet

Anointed by death

His path engrained

The relic sleeps no more
