The stench of decay succumbs the sunset
Noctum creatures emerge on the battlefield
The hallows of my soul face turbulence
Shadow people beg for center stage
Ninja warrior grabs ink and parchment
Sword of light to combat darkness
Grey moves in diffusing lightness
Thunder rolls down hill and dale
Lightning etched warrior ink
Master's swords burn brimstone words
Darkness pays homage to principles of life
Cadavers dangle on crest of a pallid moon
Wizard and sorcerer’s apprentice slip
Into the vale of dark’s delight
Shadow dancing with evil’s spawns
Heart’s desire burning in the cold pale night
Curfew brakes and corpses gather
to celebrate fair creatures fall.
Blood embossed on yellowed satin
kiss the wilted features nigh.
The devil knows our jagged past
so does his dance, the dance of death
with unsuspecting hearts and minds
He steals each breath until their last.
