[ TSC ] Creeping Death
Fog rollin in, likes of which never seen before
traveling against wind, quietly approaching shore
There's something within it I can't quite put my finger on
as if an infected wound gone too long without medicine
And those persistent rappings at the door . . .
I beg of you, don't let it in
Here, now, are we to be held accountable? Atone
for sins of others buried without consciences?
Is this a Fate of our own making breaking against the hull?
Can we be born into this world cursed souls?
So many questions as the night unfolds
Until dawn, we're wrecks upon the shoals
while fright condenses into a marauding unknown
reaping its toll
