Apocalypse Now

Death and destruction plagues my land ,
Humanity has fallen , into the reaper's hands,
All light on earth vanished in almost an instant,
The will of man robbed , hope purged in a single moment,

Evil dances with chaos amidst man's suffering,
The devil's spawns torment and maim the living,
Allowing mankind no opportunity for healing,
For the dreaded apocalypse is here ,
Soldiers with blackened souls spread fear,
Their wills dominate , and all who oppose fall to their spears

Desolation has claimed all in its path,
The beast rejoices the end of humanity with a piercing laugh,
Champions of Light lie defeated and fallen, 
Their minds engulfed with despair as darkness claims their souls,
As the apocalypse concludes its hellish campaign,
No sounds of life are heard , let darkness reign.
