Terzanelle I: The Shadow Monsters
The shadows rise from a bottomless pit
To take our world. Those with weak hearts will fall
And those with the purest hearts survive it.
Bodies like oil and pitch consume all.
Cold amber eyes watch as the darkness swarms in
To take our world. Those with weak hearts will fall.
They yearn for what they once had; so they sin,
Tearing out beating hearts to fill the void.
Cold amber eyes watch as the darkness swarms in.
New shadows made from those who were destroyed
Watch as one by one, the bright stars go out,
Tearing out beating hearts to fill the void.
The shadows don't care what they've brought about,
Smothering all, even the planet's core –
Watch, as one by one, the bright stars go out.
It's a one-sided and merciless war.
The shadows rise from a bottomless pit
Smothering all, even the planet's core
And those with the purest hearts survive it.
