The Black Pyramid

It's a secret mauled and mangled In Shenandoah blood Handed down by fathers and their kin The only constant is the rivers flow And the storm that floods the creek When you wear the stain of a fathers fathers sin The land has stayed so fertile Despite the heavy human hands Who tilled the earth until it finally bled But the crops were always growing And the livestock multiplied But in our family's bones an ancient dread The black pyramid rises From the riverbanks red sand Yeah it rises As it calls across the land And the siren in our blood Will make us heed its call The black pyramid rises And the light begins to fall There's a cipher in the stars And hearts of howling fear Stones resonate with otherworldly sounds Our feet take steps without us And the maelstrom clouds our minds As the unholy drums inside begin to pound
