The night was serene
The moon's curve shaped like a grin
Many stars from above were staring
At the earth that was deeply sleeping

Darkness veiled the atmosphere
Silence pierced the eardrums like a spear
A husband fulfilled a ritual
As the mysterious voice spoke to them virtual

A bite from the neck killed the wife
Too much bleeding took away her life
He sucked her blood like a leech
It was a thing that he would never beseech

Horribly mutilating the woman's carcass
Destroying every part of the body she has
He just followed the voice in his head
To show his sincere love for the dead

He was as fragile as a wine glass
A romantic cannibalism it was
Deceived by that sickening delusion
A bloody ritual that led them to destruction

Blood, flesh and bones
Darkness that was as deep as the Davy Jones
They just heard a stupid voice
And they lost their minds like no other choice
