Beneath Death's Dark Veil

Wednesday, October 31, 2012 -------------------------------------- A careless Swathing of Death's face- pale Burn the images and erase the memories Bury the lies beneath Death's dark veil Dig deep- finding secrets beneath the remains Salty tears pierce the bloodless veins Hiding the lies beneath Death's dark veil Burn the soul and leave the remains Speak your filthy words-never escape the chains Live beneath Death's dark veil cover the truth- with a fairy's tale Revive the breakage-but it's far too late to mend the damage All will be revealed once you enter hell beneath Death's dark veil Your useless sorrow buried with lies And still you refuse to hear the burning cries And the truth remains-left decaying beneath Death's dark veil Burn the remains-bury your life Give in to the world of never ending strife Lose yourselves in the void-far beneath Death's dark veil Never strive for much- always fail Wondering what has become of this empty life Receiving a decayed response of ash in the depths of Death's dark veil
