Cultus corvus semper vigilantes
Seth was yearning
For explaining this macabre sight
Unknown substances boiling
And other gear that shone with spite
For cues he started scouring
And noticed a sign
A seal on bloodstained letter
Damned thorny "R"
The envelope he opened
And read the message out
To ball in House of Orchids
He now possessed an invite
"Come to the ball, Sir Warren
And wear a blood-red mask
When clock strikes twelve, you'll find him...
In shades of midnight's dreary dusk"
All of a sudden, the cultist, still alive
To destroy all evidence a simple plan contrived
He reached out to the tablecloth dragging it down
To make a lantern slip from desk and burn house to the ground
As the famished flames rose higher
Seth grabbed cultist's books and ran out
As first rays graced town still sleeping
Silence burst with anguished shrilling
