No, heaven's not a place that you go when you die
It's that moment in life when you touch her and you feel alive
So live for the moment
And take this advice, live by every word
Love's completely real, so forget anything that you've heard
And live for the moment now


Indigo and scarlet lights






























A hidden jungle within itself



























A zoo
Animals wearing masks and costumes























They smell blood, they gather



























They know a sacrifice will begin
A sanctuary

































A temple


































A safe haven
































Not quite.
Strength is power































Lust is power

































Fear is power

































Knowledge is forsaken
Children are vultures





























Basking and glorifying






























Ecstatic not to be chosen
Instincts are growing strong




























I hear a growl































My heart runs far
But I know it is time































I can hear drums































A steady beat













Dum Bum Bum





























Dum Bum Bum
Claws tear into my soft pink flesh

























An ancient ritual that will never die























If I can only hold a little longer
The monsters watch all thinking the same thoughts
I will not be the one.





























No.



































I will not be the one.
