Tear down the sky

dust and ashes we’re all going to die

drowned out in this malignant rain

no longer vertically insane

never had been completely intact

the Devil and I have made a pact

to destroy the absolution

with bleeding noise pollution

to watch the Apocalypse from a fictitious place

lost in body, hidden in face

the sins committed, will come in thick and fast

up until the inhaling air of the very last

person standing all alone

for self-mutilation he is prone

to render himself incomplete is everything he can

the pitiful symphony embedded into man

begging for release, the longing veins

no one is pulling harder on his reigns

to stop the hatred pouring out

luminous callings waving his own doubt

our deranged smiles hanging upside down

at the final fatality in this small town

the haunted lands of memories waste

just guts and gore with a metallic taste

we will bottle up each wandering soul

until the clock tower bell does toll

signifying the days have come to an end

into the flames we will together descend

    Really? I thought the world’s gonna end in something of an eternal winter… Ragnarok? Anyway, I digress. The last part was a nice touch, bout the clock bell tower signifying humanity’s end.

    I have always thought you were my exact opposite when it comes to writing poetry, maybe that’s why your work intrigues me so much, you are the yin to my yang, or maybe I’m the yin
    great work Shadow, loved it

    I like the flow. However we try to look at things on the positive side, I could still smell doomsday. Brace up yourselves and hold on tight.
