The Wolf in Waiting

lyrics

Beware of the old man in black
He wanders these halls night and day
Everyone fears the wrath of this old man
He who preached upon the altar
And gained their trust like no other
Young wills bent by the fabled book
The truth of it all in buried nooks
A rosary grasp in frail hands
Sacrament lost by so many sins
The black book speaks of demons like these
Horrors heard from hell and below
A child’s shattered innocence
At the hand of the old man in black
Beware of the old man in black
Beware of the demon in black

On holy grounds the old man waits
For the young to come and serve
Fresh minds to force-feed lies
First taught silence ‘stead of cries

Recreants of broken faith robbing the weak blind
Wicked men are free to prey under the veil of christ
Long forgotten laws still govern modern day

Recreants of broken faith robbing the weak blind
Wicked men are free to prey under the veil of christ
Long forgotten laws still govern modern day

A life lent to God is where it began
The wolf in waiting amidst the flock of sheep
Holy man by right dark demon, inside
Decades of worship recompense for wretched deeds

Beware, beware

Beware of the old man in black
Beware of the demon in black
