The Plague (v2)

Folder: 
Songs

Endless burdens sinking in a mire of decadence

No one here listens to the cadence of lingered spirits

No one left to ponder the disappearance

Of an age in question, fallen bastion

 

Losing sight, crystallized eyes

Paralyzed through barren oceans

Cataracts contradict whats in front of you

Voices inside alter the truth

The weight of the world

Falls upon the shoulders

Burdens outsourced to

The soldiers of an eternal war

 

Offer a sacrifice

Twice blind to human kind

Demanding patience

Absinthe craven masterpiece

Silence: a reverie

Torturous symphony

Beckons unholy creatures

The pleasure of the plague bringer

Solemn songs of the deceiver

Thrice fooled by the mirror

Whispering screams linger

Will you unveil this vile pain?

Dark crystal faith induced in my veins again

 

Parallel world in a black mirror scapegoat

Civilized parasites

Feeding on the weak

Souls fill the void of a monstrous apetite

Embodiment of war in a dying light

How could we do this to her?

Human no longer

We won't remember

 

The barren wasteland of our hearts

No longer recognize guilt

Everything we have built

Was made to fall apart

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I took my "The Plague" poem and turned it into song lyrics.

A bastion

is like a rampart, right? Now I gotta go look up a word. :D

Funny

You just made a poem about being a wordsmith :p


It's a highly defensible military fort.  I think if you google the definition it gives you a much better idea of it than I could explain.

Barbican

Where do synonyms come from?

Bastions can be people, I hear.

Barbicanism protects moats. Yeah,

you must protect the moat.
