Jacob

Hear me, children
Step into the light
Don’t be scared of noises in the night
Please don’t ever look me in the face
I can never help you understand
I feel nothing, no remorse for the dead
I see bloodstains painting red my calloused hands

I wish I could show you what it is I see inside
But the voices in my head tell me to hide
Everything from everyone
I was sent from above
I am the holy killer, my name is Jacob

Countless deaths are brought on by one man
Broken promise all by my hands
You can’t stop me from making these fall
Remember, always, victims aren’t we all

And the voices are telling me to eat from the forbidden tree
They say that I should kill you before your “ayes” can kill me

Hear me, children
Step into the light
Don’t be scared of noises in the night
If you want to, you can come with me
My own bloodstained hands will set you free
