The bloody eye - the sweaty flesh
The Manticore - the bone eater
The poison breath - for the father
The severed arm - come to daddy
Tied to the post - strains against her bonds
Scream in vain - virgin sacrifice
The hated cave - the ancient god
The pointed rocks - beloved one
Eat the face - bite her legs
Carve her breasts - eagle claws
Distant shriek - celebrate
Lottery - way of life
Family - sacrifice
In the river - vital organs
Near the cave - shreds of clothing
Round the fire - tearful faces
In the field - wretched fathers
In the mountain - the endless rite
Tied to this way of life
God always wants another one to kill
