Scarecrow
Eternal Torment: Deviated Instinct's Scarecrow Unveiled
Lyrics
Alone; just the night for company
Expressing solitude; only the night accompanies the speaker.
Tattered man with just memories
Depicting a worn-out individual with only memories remaining.
A corpse staked out for all to see
Describing a dead body displayed for everyone to witness.
Tormented martyr
Referring to the deceased person as a tormented martyr.
Silent whisper echoes across the fields
Introducing a soft, distant sound traveling through the fields.
“What is it like to be dead?”
Pondering on the experience of death.
Screams the man on the stake
The person on the stake questions the world about the nature of death.
“What’s it like, world...to be dead?”
Reiterating the inquiry about the state of being dead.
The old oak draws it’s branches away
Describing an old oak tree withdrawing its branches.
The birds will not rest on its arms
Birds avoid resting on the tree's limbs.
As he rots, slowly but surely
Highlighting the gradual decay of the person on the stake.
And with him takes the world itself
Suggesting that the person's decay affects the entire world.
The crops grow, food for plenty
Despite the crops flourishing, a destructive force looms.
But the virus out stretches its arms
Introducing a metaphorical virus affecting the crops.
He drains the lifeblood
Describing the person draining the lifeblood from the crops.
And crop withers and dies
Resulting in the crops withering and dying.
Beasts of carrion, smell the meat
Animals attracted to carrion scent gather around.
And circle close by, then venture near
They cautiously approach and encircle the decaying person.
He smiles a tormented, twisted smile
Despite the torment, the person on the stake smiles twistedly.
Laughs at the rotting corpse of humanity
Laughing at the deteriorating state of humanity's corpse.
