Anguish [July 25, 2016]

Staring into their lifeless eyes

He is ready for his inevitable demise

The victims of slaughter splattered against the wall

Their lifeless hands reach towards him from beneath the hall

 

The corpses cold, filled with endless malice

They corner him, trap him within their madness

Shivering beneath their demonic icy grasp

Their voices rasp like shattering glass

 

Infinite anguish forever fills his memories

They remind him of their life, death and forgotten misery

The pain caused by torture, the cycle of hatred and regret

They force him into their nightmare, his lies he must confess

 

Their judgment stands above him, ghosts of the written past

Within his guilt, despair falls upon him with infinite mass

Refusing to repent from the endless suffering and agony

They push him down, ignoring the laws of physics and gravity

 

Through the stone and earth, they push him through the dirt

Falling into an abyss, absorbing all the pain and hurt

Lower and lower, he burns within the fires of the earth

They separate his body and soul, damned for all he’s worth

 

Within the myths and legends, he is a villain

He is lost to the world, trapped within his prison

For eternity, he is doomed to burden the world’s pain

For he must atone for their anguish, those he had slain
