The dance of shadows

By nightshade

The dance of eternal darkness
Shown by the shadows on the walls
Chaos sits upon the throne
Only death walks these halls
Let me acquaint you with a darker side of truth
A side that hardly ever shows
Now gone is the sweet innocence of youth
Here terror and pain stops bloods flow
Angels fallen from long ago
Adorn these morbid halls
Shadows come forth from the darkness
To answer deaths silent call
As the tide of light quickly ebbs away
Creatures from forgotten nightmares
Hide here from the burning light of day
