Blood on The Sand

By charliebrown

BARREN WASTE LAND,  DAMN THE HEAT,
ANGRY CLOUDS, NOW DEFEAT.
SKIES GROW DIM, SOON THE NITE,
GROWING WONDER, GROWING FRIGHT.

PIERCING EYES IN THE DARK,
WATCHING SHADOWS NOW DEPART.
HOWELING WINDS WHISPER TALES,
THE DAY IS GOOD, THE NIGHT IS HELL.

DAMN THIS LIFE OF REPEATED HORROR,
YESTERDAY, TODAY, THE SAME TOMMORROW.
SPILL MY BLOOD UPON THE SAND,
AND TAKE MY SOUL FROM THIS BARREN LAND.
