A Vengeance

The shade of the weathercock
Points to the graveyard,
 An abandoned tombstone waits 
 For the day immorality
Returns to the world of the purest
As they name it

They will come back with 
A Vengeance 

A thousand years of digging 
Not the earth but the time
The home a fathom below
Now the time have come 
They say
The souls are here at last

No mercy they will show
A point to be made
War is the only way 
Blood the only ink
