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.

Author's Note:

A Tribute poem in which I tried to mention all the bands that have inspired me, and I still feel like I left several bands out.

    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. Scholar
