The Silent Threat (2006 Remastered)

Secure from the world, the child remained hidden
A serpent disguised in the Garden of Eden
And all who looked down on this newly born babe
Were ignorant now of the path this would take

The people were blind to the subtle control
That was exercised daily upon every soul
With no room to question this delicate life
All fears would be drowned, and all doubts would be stifled

But one single mind did stand out from the crowd
Though quiet at first, with hardly a sound
The Mother Superior harboured suspicion
Brought to her heart by three simple visions

The three visions, the Mother Superior bore
A bitter forewarning of what was in store
This infant so frail must not grow to be strong
The world was at risk if she waited too long

So veiled by the blackness of night, she did creep
And enter where mother and child were both asleep
And onwards she moved to where the crib lay
She leant over the baby and started to pray

She prayed for forgiveness for what she would do
She prayed that the knife in her hand would aim true
But all of a sudden she was now paralysed
The baby daughter had opened her eyes

And into those eyes, the woman gazed
The look in her face was both haunted and crazed
She was smothered and swamped in confusion and sadness
The first to be gripped by this foul crimson madness

This brutal psychosis could not be explained
No single cause was suggested or blamed
But no one could think that a child was involved
And the mystery illness remained unresolved

So all seemed as normal for seven short years
A veil of deception dissolved any fears
But there was one lapse in the child's disguise
And that could be seen in the depths of her eyes
In the depth of her eyes
