Darkness, Reign Over Me

By Malcholm Dark

Eyes saddened by the decay of hope
The fire of life is but dying embers
A derelic man without fortitude
A broken being in need of rejuvenation.

A storm looms upon my horizon
Black foerboding clouds
Rolling--churning--advancing
A soul ripe for the violation.

DARKNESS, reign over me... consume me.

Huddled in my corner, a depredation of the spirit
Then it hovers above, dismal and transfixed
Throws of shadows become me
The light of decency fades to oblivion.

I rise up within the black reign
An emptiness has overcome the guilt
The havoc within my soul subsides
I am forsaken--I am barren--I am hollow!

DARKNESS, reign over me... consume me.

Innocence spied, I come for thee
Fear me! For I am a gathering plague
The silence whispers my name, you come
Brutality speaks of innocence taken!

I write the night in blood for you
shades of homicide--black to crimson
You lay before me, listless staring eyes
A flowing pool of blood beneath you!

DARKNESS, reign over me... consume me.

I am the light undone, the lesser of man
Consumed by darkness, I am evil absolute!

A former member wrote: The life a formation of a killer, a grueling process that takes place over a course of years causing the person to finnaly crack. Then te only way to feel better and not feel the guilt of killing is to kill again to feel the happiness and thrill of the first kill.
