Black Dragon
Enter the eye that weeps
as the dragon sleeps
crawling underneath the skin
In the darkest shadows creep
wings curtains falling heavy
Iron casting cold steel
Lies within the soul
the most horrifying
of all monsters
Dead soulless weeping
teardrops lurking
Addiction of need
in darkness sleeps
Awaiting life's fate
distorted emotions
Cold scales climb effortlessly
numb within shattered illusions
twisted in its agony
screeching nightmares howl out
Black velvet feelings
chanting inside unheard voices
The dammed living dead
swallowing shadows
digging deeper
Whispering silently inwardly
Dying heartaches burn
Darkening thoughts within
falling heavy on the shoulders
Clouds the sky dark
lightning force consumed by hate
Crashes in pain
colourless agony reigns
In thundering roars
at the keepers gate
creeping into the deepest dungeon
falling emotions sick
The dragon breathes
spitting fire with his every breath
burning hotly the flames unholy
Black teardrops
scorching the very ground
burning hurt
on which he roams
A sacrifice
in black ash remains
Only he sleeps inside torture
twisting and turning chains
In hot pain
buried in turmoil
In the deep
awakens this
nightmare beast
In hell
with all its fury
roaring out
a voiceless flame
Black burns
serpent
of pain
