Everything Went Black

Crawling the walls through every crack and crevice

teems blackness washing over the windowpanes painting the buildings in between

creeping down the alley ways consuming every street

soundless swarm of nothingness sure to doom us all

pulling screaming earthlings into its toothless jaws

endlessly beginning spreading with no sign of stop

horror of horrors truly maddening in size

running just prolongs the end inevitably it strides

where has it come from? how can it be stopped?

so quickly we're to meet our end our empire we have lost

karmatic Armageddon no religion could foresee

a planet once forsaken not even a memory

streetlights bend into the void cars enveloped whole

darkness deeper than a blindman's sleep soon to paint the world

insatiable its hunger it drinks the sea without a belch

stretching to the other side where it is sure to meet itself

unearthly vacuum devouring the hourglass now empty

its time to say goodbye watching your life flash before mortal eyes

terror fills your heart screams of anguish greet your ears

living death voracious insidious impervious to damage we are slaughtered as if lambs.
