Zaq Pariah - The Graveyard Shifts

Come and meet your friends
The gallows wish to introduce the dead
The numbered flee your scent
To gather in the empty nest
The lepers moan for flesh
A cloaked figure wins a crooked bet
Extended bone to clasp the hand
Positioned to make amends

Yet still as
They slumber
Their mouths pass
A murmur

Welcome to a world with no more sleep
Torches to confront the ogre

Go and see your friends
The devil's playground needs a set of legs
A messenger well-fed
Never questions and rarely rests

And under
Each gravestone
Are sundered
Three shamed ghosts

Welcome to a world with no more sleep
Torches to confront the ogre

They said the same
And led the lame
To present fame
With no more sleep
A soul to keep
A role to reap

Grown and honing infantry to protect
No one any longer fearing the wrath
Monstrous menace rendered a bedside threat
Bound the barricade and they'll find you

Welcome to a world with no more sleep
