Children of the Corn

Small town of Gatlin
Surrounded by cornfields
Lies a presence of worship
To which all the children yield

Issac, preacher child
Malachai, right hand
Together brainwash the children
Into killing off all man

Children of the corn
19th year, death sworn
Sacrifice to he
Who commands new born

Its - he....Who walks....Behind....The rows
Yes he....Who walks....Behind....The rows
He who walks behind the rows

Malachai grows weary
Of Issac's arrogance
Orders of sacrifice
Devoured by presence

Storm over the field
A barn serves as shield
Irrigation pumps of gas
Molotov cocktail, burning blast

Blades, sickles, hatchets and corn
Zealots of wrath, sacrificial sworn
Children, blood, cornfield deity
Interlopers caught and set free!

Its - he....Who walks....Behind....The rows
Yes he....Who walks....Behind....The rows
He who walks behind the rows
He who walks behind the rows
