A frequent chant rings the air
Slicing the thickness of the growls
Of an oath bound not by hide or hair
But of the moon's old, mad howls
Your saviors are heroes no more
Your populace shrunken, theirs having grown
Beasts number greater than hares of the moor
Each man sacrificing themselves to madness' home
You hunt with eager glee to please
With fire and blades, mobs and skill
Slaying demons and angels, all to ease
Your thirst for blood, growing with every kill
Why is it so easy, too easy to forget
In the midst of our lust, our humanity?
The taste of blood, like the sirens' duet
Losing and too forgone to remember our family
A creature plods on the still waters of a lake
Dumb and wise, dead and alive
Old in our eyes, that is no mistake
Yet young in Their ever-knowing eyes
The eyes, the eyes, oh how they stare!
So morbid yet giving glances of hope
To knowledge, strength and life of no compare
With ethereal beings they wish to elope
I scream with horror, with enlightenment, with pain
To sights unseen by common man and beast
Monsters, humans, gods thoughtlessly all slain
Splattering enough blood to fill a feast
I see it, climbing, guarding, all for what?
A mortal god's messenger in a mortal world
The truth of other's powers is too much, too blunt
A child's cry fills the loft's darkened wards
Tall, thin, porcelain, white, perfect Doll
Quietly waiting, quietly sighing
The old main sits within the prison's hall
Quietly advising, quietly crying
They walk in a quiet, pleasant dream
I wake in a silent, bloody nightmar
All have dreamed, so it seems
But his quiet whispers tell me to beware
This night and its tale never ends
And so do these mad beasts
It seems I will fight 'til I bend
Dear gods, may I rest in peace, at least?
Listening to his offer, I kneel
Oh gods, yes, is this the end?!
My end shall be silent, shall be fast
To the waking world, may you send!
His blade rises, completing that horrific deal
Perhaps I may think of this all as pretend
"Freedom at last, freedom at last!"
The sky was clear this morning.
The hunger still remains.
A/N:
I'm sorry for this monstrosity and for my absence. Also, can someone please remind me to update my FEA SI every ten days or so? Thanks.
