Dying Embers

I drown in ashes

As demons thrive

Unsightly faces behind the mask

Sweet embers hide my dying eyes

The smell of amber

And weary lies

Evoke the ages

Of humbly times

To cloak the sorrow in virgin white

Few fought back the darkness

The eternal black

In the midst of the terror

As the tyrants reigned

In ensuing violence

And pandemic rage

Taking their wrath home

With the words of a prince

On the brink of destruction

Most vile race

When the sound of the trumpets

Never found their way

Drowned out by laughter

Now the cross is ablaze

Hell-bent and hellbound

Hallowed downpour of plague

Damnation unleashed

On desolate plains

On oceans of sadness

The tempest howls

As time stands still

And torment takes shape

In the wake of doom

With open arms

Lorn saving grace

For pest and friend

In darkness dwell

Fire...Deliverance
