Tribute
By HeadpatSlut
Tribute
The Blacked Sabbath passes by-
A man, Disturbed, is led to die-
The noose is rigged, tied in a
Slipknot-
And of this charade the man knows not.
The Undead
rise in Hollywood-
The Kings are Cotton mouthed and good-
The
Equilibrium is none-
Uneven Sums are Forty-One.
The Slayers
lead Metallic Assaults-
Upon a fortress with no faults-
A Priest
is Judas in disguise-
A Saxon looks him in the eyes.
A
Rider, psychopathic, blasts-
His Tech Nine pistol always lasts-
The Death Clock ticks and ticks away-
Counting down to Judgment
Day.
A Sister Twiztid into form-
While motely crews defy
the norm-
The Call for Freedom loud is sounded-
And Heaven and
Hell in Death abounded.
An Armored Saint rides into battle-
His foes fall dead like slaughtered cattle-
Electric Currents Alternate-
Directly killing pointless hate.
Forefathers built this kingdom
high-
And cast offerings into the sky-
Mount Doom lies quiet
in barren terrain-
Unleashed are those who knew it's reign.
Tyr sails in a Man O' War-
A Storm of Ale is what he bore-
Three
Days of Grace spent in attack-
While balanced on a Nickel's Back.
Eighteen Visions seen so clear-
Seven times Avenged the Seer-
A Quiet Riot gathers there-
Struck still by High King Dio's stare.
The Cowboy's Job is just to kill-
Cataclysmic, time stands
still-
Aborted spirits holding on-
As Truth is Rationed, Life
is gone.
The Falling Hammer shakes the Earth-
The evil
Angra sees rebirth-
An Iron Maiden casts her spell-
Nocturnal
Wishes bring forth Hell.
Inside a Cage are Murdered Dolls-
Alchemic Romance deeper falls-
Misfits run away and die-
While
their Offspring bleed and cry.
The Quest for Power does begin-
A Spell's Blast echoes strong within-
Sixty Nine Eyes Stare deep
into the heart-
A Plan so Simple is torn apart.
The Greenest
Day is quiet and low-
Crippled mutes put on Skid Row-
The Rushing
masses do progress-
and Helloween's horrors are no less.

That was an epic piece, and a fitting tribute as well. I never would have guessed their names would translate so well into a poem. If I tried to write something like this I would have to take a nap afterward :P, write on.
