The Shadows Move

The shadows move

But no one sees

The terror within

A man looks and sees

Too late to see

The knife in the moonlight

The blade goes down

And kills the man

More shadows move

No noise can be heard

From the terrors within

A guard screams

As his heart is torn

From him

As the sun comes up

The rays touch

The broken door

The slaughtered guards

The broken glass

The bloodied rooms

Inside a message lies within

'We are the Night Lords

We have come for you'.

Courage And Honour

'Courage and honour'

The Captain shouts

His voice strong and loud

Against the chaos

Of the war

Unleashed by traitors

On a world

The captain's world

His world

The charge begins

Blue giants vault

Over cover into the storm

Of traitor's fire

Large and fierce

A giant falls

His blue form smeared with crimson

The Captain swears and meets the foe

Hitting like a rocket

Tearing through like vicious beast

He fights not alone

His men arrive with a shout

'Courage and honour'

The rout begins

The foe flees

The battle ends

The Captain's slaughter does not

He kills like a man possessed

Up and down, up and down

Goes his sword

Ever slaying

Ever maiming

Ever thirsting

For his heart is in the dark

Held tight by

Khorne

God of blood

God of battle

God of slaughter

God of war

The Captain laughs as he slays again

The giants react

But too late

He turns on them

Cleaving

Hacking

Maiming

Thrusting

Slashing

Stabbing

Slaying

They all die

They all fall

Alone in a charnel house

He looks around like a beast

Looking for new prey

He is no longer Uriel Ventris

Ultramarine's Captain

He is Uriel Ventris

Servant of Khorne

Seeing none to kill

He heads to a camp to slay some more

For his Master

For his Lord

For the god

Known as Khorne

Eternal Darkness

The night is dark

The soldiers say

It hides things

What they were

None could say

For if they knew

What hid in the dark

They would scream

They would run

All would die

When they came

Suddenly

As fast as lightning

As silent as a ghost

As deadly as a knife

They came

The sentries fell

Throats slit

No noise is heard

No warning given

No alarm sounded

Giant terrors move

Fast and deadly

Striking faster than a lightning bolt

As deadly as any cobra

The terrors reach a house

The governor's house

The door falls

Torn from its hinges

By giant hands

In the last room

The governor cowers in fear

Like a beaten dog

Hiding from its abusive master

His attempts to hide are in vain

The last door gives

The governor screams

The horror enters

The screams cease as the governor's throat is ripped out

Soon he dies

The horrors quickly kill all others

And soon the planet enters

The eternal sleep

The eternal darkness
