Manticora

["In the Blazing Sunlight , the priest unveiled his horrid tale..."]
I travelled on through the swamplands , sailed up the river damp
To bring back the church from its state of oblivion
A mission to the land of the long gone retired tribe
The inbred people on the edge of the cleft
I crossed the lightning horrors of the burning forest
To face my unattainable holy task
A Hell alive , Armageddon , a violent energetic eruption
Of immense proportions
Domine Dirige Nos
Kept alive for eternity by this throbbing parasite
Distorting , numbing , mind reducing - Eternal life through this horrid growth
"Saying mass in my life's work - the awe striking chapel
- sweet communion , I'm at inner peace"
... to drive out this parasite by self inflicted non-lethal pain...
