Daring Dead

Dour-faced servants, thunderbolts, towering bad days. Will or reason? Time, truth, dolts! Dynamite dismays! Suffering, you heard the man! Damn you, let us in! Hell and Heaven, what's the plan? Span, O light of Sin! Wilting flowers on the beach? Autumn, thou art here. Must be something out of reach! Sour and severe! Cannibals, thy holocaust! Wicked is the past! Radar love and bargain Faust! Get me somewhere fast... Weathervane, thy sugarcane. Point of bleak despair. Disparate and desparate! Devil, how you care! Perfect? This does not exist! Honor those you love! Rapier, flash! Twist, my wrist! As below, above! Sickness, sweep over my life! Take a hold of me! Sail us all towards bitter strife! Aren't we fancy-free? Gated are the hated? Yes! No going outside! How much the berated guess! Love, bless you! Betide! Gold beneath the vast still lake? Schedule thee a dive. Bloody bubbles? Big mistake! How the widows cried! Suddenly there's nothing left! Grief and horrid loss! Derring-do and then bereft! Window, have thy gloss! Death, thy faithful partner! Doom, just give a call! Daily does my vision blur! Warriors in the hall! City of the ancient dead? That is where I'm from! O ye serpents, strike at lead! Better than a plum...
