Heroes Soon Forgotten

Disease beneath the skin, iron will can never win. Death in the air, sorrow and misery the killing pair. What's no longer in the mind, has left for no one to find. The eery chill, just waiting for the kill. Demons never cease, death will never release. The cold dead fingers, kills sorrows singers. The dead in the earth, doomed from birth. Lightning streaks the sky, as angels begin to cry. The mighty hell fire, will never tire. The infected precense, causes all to wince. Throughout seasons, death has no reasons. Hours are days, as the darkness forever stays. Knife carves through bone, as the end is shown. Before the damned awake, this world will break. No repents for the sinner, in this game there is no winner. When will we see the light, for all sicken of this endless fight. The heroes will soon be forgotten, for now the loving hearts are rotten. In those crying eyes, the darkness continues to rise. Death plays the tune, beckoning the wicked soon. Will this never end, for all have not sinned. Remembering the dead, as all watched as demons fed. Can any make it through, as hearts break in two? All that remains, is the haunting scars and pains. Trembling before shadows lord, deafening as the reaper has roared. The blade falls, without the slightest pause. Who can rise above, and make true what we've dreamt of? Who can we trust, to fight through greed and lust? Shattered dreams, tore through the seams. We fight this master, as our lives drain faster. Death comes to all, as they hear the voiceless call. Getting closer to the gates, who now controls our fates? Laughter burning through our ears, consuming all fears. Finally there is freedom, finally the light has come.
