Epigraph Lyrics by Ilsa

Preyer

0

So we began to prove our allegiance to Satan
By breaking God's commandments
And in the end, there was only one that remained unbroken
"You shall not murder"
So, in the Satanic Bible, the copy I had, I think they have, uh
Edited that out of it since then, but the copy that I had
Said that on the choice of the human sacrifice
That you were to choose people who didn't give to society anything
That'd beg by their actions to be, you know, exterminated
So we did a ritual, one last ritual one night
And we drove to the Circle K
And I had a .357 magnum, you know, a revolver
In my hand
Whenever he looked at me
I lifted the gun up and squeezed the trigger, and I missed
It whizzed right by his head
My friend and I trade pla-, traded places
And he got confused, I guess
Because he ran almost right up on me
He almost knocked me, knocked me down
And when he was just about two feet from me
I squeezed the trigger for the third time
And the bullet entered through his heart, through his lungs
And it was a hollow point shell
And blood completely splattered on the opposite wall
And he slammed, he hit the ground, and we walked out
We didn't take any money, we didn't take any merchandise
We only took the life of an innocent man for Satan

And the reason that Sean did that, John
That was murder number one
The Circle K convenience store clerk in Oklahoma City
He did that because
He said he needed more power
I want to point this out, when a teenager gets into Satanism
First it's drinking blood, first it's slasher films
First it's The Satanic Bible
Then they start sacrificing dogs and kittens
The problem with Satanism is if you extinguish life, you receive the power of the life in exchange
And that's why thirteen, fourteen people die
After killing the convenience store clerk
Five nights went by and no one knew
Except for Sean and his close friends
And five months later
He decided after hearing and having a reoccurring
Death ritual dream about his mom and dad
To kill his mom and dad, and this next clip
Tells us a little bit about
Why Sean turned on his family
