The Dark

By orkeric

Cold hand touches a dead corpse
peeling away at the skin
feasting on the flesh tearing
away at the soul of this unholy
night as we get closer
to the world of the undead

the moon shines red
sink into the path that blooms
now watch for now you are dead
now lay there as we come for you.

fire that burns but never spreads
now its time to release this
fiery beast and let it run a mock into
this wredged world feast on the slaves
of light and embrace the darkness
be one with your soul before is gets
taken away like it did many years ago.
