Prophecy

Dawn

Prophecy


Dread filled we wait - Massacre's call 
Feast our eyes - On the carnage to come 
Storm the gates - Smash down the walls 
No respite - From the minions of death 

Dark day dawning - where light never shines 
Thunderheads approaching - The grey foreboding sky 
Dark day dawning - On fields of silent dead 
Hands of doom will guide them - Closer to their descent 

Terror etched on faces pale 
Death has them in his embrace 
Raise our bodies from excrement 
The dogs will feed well today 

Aghast at the slaughter 
Yet no time for lament 
Onwards with the cry of war 
Onwards till in death we fall 

Please do not cry for me 
Your tears I do not need 
All this grief that you feel 
Just the calm before the storm 

As the shroud of death falls upon me 
And life is ripped from my veins 
Raise my body from the ground 
To be ravaged by your hands
