DARK PREGNANT CLOUDS SURROUNDED THE STARLESS SKY
AS THE TREES DANCED SLOWLY TO THE RHYTHM OF THE WIND.
AN EERIE FEELING CAPTURED THE LAND AS DEATH PROWLED THE STREETS
THE MOON, FEARFULLY HID IT'S FACE AS IT WATCHED THE HORROR UNFOLDS BEFORE IT'S SIGHT'
THE DRUMS ECHOED TONIGHT,
ONLY WHISPER OF PRAYERS WERE HEARD IN THE WIND

BANG! BANG! BANG!
METAL TEARS AWAY AT MORTALS FLESH
ONCE AGAIN DEATH CONSUMED YET ANOTHER SOUL.
AND STILL HIS HUNGER FOR BLOOD CANNOT BE FILLED

TEARS SHALL STING THINE EYES, OH BELOVED MOTHER OF THE FALLEN
AND PAIN SHALL BE YOUR TORMENTOR

THE SCREAMS OF MEN SLICED THROUGH THE DARKNESS AS THEY WERE INTRODUCED TO PAIN
A FOWL STENCH CREPT IN THE AIR
GUN POWDER.......
BURNT FLESH.......
HOT BLOOD.........

DEATH WALKED ON TWO FEET, WEARING LEATHER BOOTS,
WEAPONS IN HAND, WEARING HUMAN BODIES
STEALING LIVES
TAKING WHAT YOU DIDN'T GIVE

PRINCE OF DARKNESS
SMILING......
LAUGHING......

POOLS OF BLOOD SETTLED IN THE STREETS,
AS LIFELESS BODIES LAY THEIR HEADS TO REST
A DETERMINED SOUL CHOOSE TO HANG ON TO LIFE.
DESPERATELY RESISTING ETERNAL SLEEP

GOD'S ANGER BURST THROUGH THE CLOUDY SKY
THE EARTH TREMBLED AT HIS RAGE

PREGNANT CLOUDS GAVE BIRTH TO GOD'S TEARS
SLOWLY THEY FELL.......
HEAVILY..........
TEARS FELL VIOLENTLY ON CURSE BLOODY SOIL.
WHILE THE MOON STOOD BY AND WATCHED AS GOD CRIED

  • At first I was wondering why you had chose to put this in the 'sad and depression' folder; it seemed so dark at the beginning. I realised at the end.

    This is once again, a really good write. Just watch out for your grammar and punctuation. It's still a written/english piece and should therefore follow those guidelines.
