Dead of the Corn

Said through clenched pallet cleft Straight right out of left field Came the wind a calling for a sacrificial sacrifice To appease the dog god's of war straining and bitting to be unleashed Upon the fallen led astray and breached From some or other unknown entity but quite obviously sent from high on up If for no other reason than to make the numbers of today's death count up Why on earth I do not know that wasn't part of the deal The deal was simply this if you don't or are not prepared to choose amongst and between yourselves Then we will simply have to go ahead and do it for you as you see we currently are For if you build it we will come and the price for coming is Dying dead then death not everlasting breath
