Losing Faith's Song
Emerald Isles litter broken castles with stained circular windows
and snakes walk through jaded marble of grey eyes and crimson hair,
choosing between black death and silver emeralds
only to cover the Earth with battles raging between the Gods and heroes.
Merlin's raven died with King Arthur and
Excalibur's jewels of scarlet rubies and exquisite diamonds were
buried upon Avalon.
Gargoyles were called to war,
the trumpet sounded by Merlin's last heir.
They ravaged the lands, judging sorcerers in Hades' robes before
plunging their fangs and talons into warm flesh and cold blood.
Eagle tears are sapphires
splashing against ocean waters of forbidden love.
Let he who is tainted, spoiled by the stench of death, cast the first curse.
Magick without words.
Eagles paint skies of fury and turn blind, gorged eyes towards right and wrong.
Love is a tart
and trapped where she belongs.
Pointy eared creatures fled their Atlantis Empire as vengeful
and angry Gods punished their arrogant children.
And the father of the Wisdom Goddess of old
shackled iron collars around the necks of his new slaves.
Violet eyes mark elves and a serious
wizard uncovers lost history hidden from mortal eyes.
Phoenixes were born in fire, dragons died in elven magicks.
Griffins roared and battled gargoyles for dominance over the Southern lands.
Time passes and gargoyles turned to stone while griffins were
imprisoned in flesh, only to be reawakened when
time was near an end and change at hand.
Citrine airs covered the lands and soon history forgot itself
and bliss spread across the faces of men's kings
as gold filled their pockets and homes.
Power corrupts and evil dwindles.
Gods refused to play the game.
The Eastern sun bleeds with black dragon wings.
Western lands break seven golden seals and
a white-robed vigilante bleeds points from his forehead.
Northern skies roll grey rain clouds beneath sixteen hooves beating
famine, pestilence, plague, and war.
Southern fires break the heroes and feed the warlords of old.
And the Gods watch as their world cries
and they turn deaf eyes to justice and balance.
