Season of Death
By jajang829
Aging timbers fell
Up-rooted as the underworld stormed
Thunder
echoed across the land
Undulating waters dark with sand
Moving
onward the darkness swarmed
Now more than ever
Inside the
fire burned
Searing the meat as it turned
The family had
assembled
Holding forth the yearly sacrifice
Embracing as the
foundation trembled
Screams erupt into the night
Echos
of pain and death
Altars of bone rise from the floor
Stained
with the blood of those who are no more
Odin himself held his breath
Noone was safe from this plight
Ogres rose and screamed of
doom
Fiends rampaged the room
Deaths' servants cackled
with glee
Everyone died that hallowed eve
All those gathered
not knowing
This Blot would be their last
Heathens take heed
