Come to the call of the siren

can you hear its maddening scream?

wailing in the delights of death

synthetic orchards opening

to a dusky bloom

Beckoning to you to follow

you can not hold your presence from such fate

from the noose that hangs

there in your darkest dreams

the floor beneath you caves right in

your feet now rest way down

upon the sickening heat of Hell

can you smell the singed edges

that are eating away your soul?

    Is it too dark in here or is it just me?

    Scaring but nice all the same.

    SP…as a former career fire fighter, this brought back some terrifying memories of times when I was in burning buildings and I was beginning to smell the singed edges from that sickening heat…sounds like you have been there…at least you captured that power…ILI…Thank you
