Blood-soaked Sands

by Eden   Apr 27, 2005


Darkness bidden, turmoil ridden
On these dreary hills…
Who knows the fathoms that lie so deep
And my hunger that can never be filled?
See? the dawning light disappears…
You are reliving your every day fears…
I cannot help but laugh in scorn…
For you are the one who has brought this.
Seek a mellow place in life,
A fictional imagination…
Dark times lie in past and ahead
You will wish you could be dead.
Blood curdling cries from helpless babes
Reeking of the Black Plague.
But unseen is this enemy
That hides so well in the shade.
Please be kind to darkness now
They are the ones who hold time’s hand.
You’re sinking in this invincible sand.
Please, do you not see your fate
If you stand up to them in hate?
Follow now, the sunset path
That leads to powerful dreadful breath
I cannot help but to love it so,
This was and is my destiny.
Help the pretenders of the Night
Seal off your ever eating fright
No one fears what is harmless to their soul
…Wait…I guess they do.
Plead the cause of Death this night?
That is what I am doing.
People fear me and respect me so…
…No…it is just fear.
I am who I am inside…
Without I am the same.
Repeat my past, I would so fast
And still, my darkness I’d claim.
Hear the drums? They are not so distant…
They are coming for us.
Drop your heart and I’ll trip over it for you…
And leave you in the dust.
Running not am I from fate
I accept it gladly.
I am serving a greater thing
Than this petty life can offer.
I am darkness’ humble temple
I am the garden of Eden.
I am simply the simplest of cruelty
Not home for the purest…like you.
You think that you are so special
Well, Hun, I’ll have my say.

See the deadly flowers in my hand?
See the crumbling time of sand?
See the emptiness inside my eyes
For those whom I despise?
I laugh at those who appraise the lie
That everyone will live when they die.
Only the purest of the purest shall gain
A life past life’s old reign.
Pointless, yes, this letter seems…
…But I will end it here…

You are nothing and I am something…
Of that…My mind is clear.

So yes, go on, and wash thine hands
Fall back into dirty sands…
The dunes of monstrosity lie deep in your heart
Heed this: they will rip you apart.
Unless, of course, you come to terms
With who you really are…
Become the shining abyss you hide
And be the morning and evening Star.
