Dead Souls Road

The Goat sits in his lair and surveys his new souls
Admiring his work and all he controls
The Broken Angel is spreading his word well
Swelling the ranks of his empire called hell

The Angel she is watching the preacher man search
As he moves further from the safety of his church
He's totally oblivious to her prying eyes
As she slowly slips into her earthly disguise

Sister Mary Ignatius approaches the priest
"I hear you're looking for an evil beast?"
"Yes I am Sister, have you seen such a thing"
"Indeed I have" she says hiding her wing

"Prey tell me Sister what you know"
"So to this place I can go"
She sees the fire burning within his eyes
And relishes the day she'll hear his cries

"In the pits of hell she does reside", 
"With The Goat of Mendes by her side",
The priest he is shocked by her admission
The Goat is something he didn't envision

But his mission is one which he must complete
So The Goat he must also try and defeat
Now the task at hand is growing by the day
So he listens to the Sister and what she will say

"You'll find your way to the Goat's abode
By following the path along Dead Souls Road"
"And what lies at the end of this foreboding track"
"A lake and a boat", she didn't mention the attack

"Then it's off to the lake that I will go"
And God's words, along the way I shall sow"
"I'll come with you Father to face this beast"
Said Sister Mary as she followed the priest
