Ominous - Cryptopsy

Officer you have to believe me

I didn’t kill my wife

Please settle down sir just start from the beginning

And tell us what happened to Sophie

Our baggage was packed tight the essentials were gathered and prepared

This was the Honeymoon trip we had been planning for months

Skinny-dipping in the hot springs of the Kootenay Rockies that was her dream

The earth moist beneath our boots crumbled as we set out that morning

Long eerie shadows stretched out and crawled towards us

A simple meal once camp had been set

Afterwards we curled together before the fire

As darkness settled the two of us became one

Our subtle moans leaked past the night and across the vast unknown plains

As our sweat dried we clung together and drifted off into sleep

A rustle in the distance startled me awake

I turned towards Sophie to initiate another round

Overtaken by her vulnerability

But the vacuous silence she emit puzzled me until I turned on the flashlight

All that was left of my wife was a bloodied upper torso torn and fragmented

That’s when I first heard it, the ominous black beast

Howling and grunting just out of sight

Then nothing for a minute until the hairy creature attacked again

It had come back for what was left of Sophie

Shivering naked and caked with her blood

I drifted off as I waited for morning

I then awoke to you guys screaming

Please officer you have to believe me
