among the dead(doom)

among the dead(doom)

A Poem by Shane Brooks

In dreams I walk with you
a torture so complete
the light of stars
you never reach
all is silent
in the halls of the dead
in rooms of ruin
where spiders spin
and the great circuits
fall quiet
forever

Among the dead you belong
sacrificed
to the knife
gladly I would end your life
to enjoy the silence
of a moment
that has reached perfection
I must hesitate to plan
your inglorious and brutal end
Ignominious your fall
righteous and just
my wrath inflicted with lust
In vengeance we trust
betrayal begets blood
honor demands that it does

the rise and fall of all we have known
was faster than dirt breeds
among your organs and bones
I deny the crime but I find
the space between hatred and dead
is the finest line

your inglorious and brutal end
Ignominious your fall
righteous and just
my wrath inflicted with lust
In vengeance we trust
betrayal begets blood

sealed your fate
steal your face
to see your eyes hallow
the world I would trade
ghost get made
watch it fade
all my tomorrows
to see your last day
price I'll pay
locked away
if you don't get buried
and without a trace
steal your face
sealed your fate

sleep now forever
I'll hold you in my dreams
moans and screams
cries and pleas
beg me forever
sweetest victory
cries and pleas
moans and screams

nothing would kill the pain
or numb it away but my hate
kept in it's proper place
all was safe but it's free
the final collapse of will
and a dream was fulfilled
dark bright day
final intrigue

steal your face
quenched my hate
drank your last breath
and the world went away
bliss did rain
pure as pain
bound at the wrist
it's the end of the game

all is silent
in the halls of the dead
where spiders spin
in rooms of ruin
the great circuits fall quiet
one by one forever

Sounds like an awesome song.

My favorite is the first verse...it's dreadfully enchanting...the contradictory notion of walking with a dear one being torture...never reaching the light of the stars...very dark
