Unseen Hand 1

O horrible! most unwanted sting
but while thou're inevitable thing
Dragon of evil, never refuse to pay this
coming always wicked unseen jaws

Roaring, hissing, hurled, it came to prey
lad, lady, lone, rode to pray
visiting the toddler, lingering the adult
jamboree sing dirge on candle night

Emissary of patricide, matricide
messenger of fratricide and sororicide
rack and ruin like endless flood

A bier or mausoleum for it victims
ready to be taken to their catacombs
unseen hand knows no one
unseen hand, everyone recognize
