Sodden soil invading brain
Maggots crawl within each vein
Mouth an orifice of screams
Death awaits within your dreams
Sinewed fingers scratch around
Piercing bodies underground
Saturating untold greed
Echoing an aching need.
Velvet lining, coral stain
Holds the body wracked with pain
Sun is setting in the East
Now reflects an evil beast
Matching curtains open wide
Can you feel him? he's inside
Senses burning, losing sight
As he eats your eyes tonight.
