Domination of Decay

By Damon Tarloth

Dark Rituals,
And it begins,
The nightmare starts,
As they ascend...

Hideous Images,
Their fetid breath,
Within seconds,
Life becomes Death...

The weak, The old, And the sick,
These are the ones that are slaughtered quick,
The sights you see of their bodies scattered,
Your psyche on the verge of being shattered...

Become something else,
That is no longer you,
Block out the horrors,
Is what you must do...

Or lose who you are,
As you replay the scenes,
The ghastly images,
Horrific screams,
Raping your humanity,
Haunting your dreams...

The horrific sounds and graphic sights,
Warping the mind to a catatonic height,
Far beyond to comprehend,
This is no dream,
This is the End...
