Death Calls You By Your Name

A thunder-clap, the storms approach Each eerie revelation No hope for man Nor none for 'roach A prophetic annihilation The World awaits, a harrowed end Apocalyptic measures Mans soul, it hangs Tentative, it bends Ensnared, in its false treasures The evening veil of darkness Accomplice, to the Moon Covers up its naked secret A portent clear A harbinger of doom His end, long in the making A teardrop in the Ocean Damned eternal He waits there, shaking Unsaved, in his devotion Arch-Angels, weep eternal Both wings and hands are tied The Wind it cuts The Rain can never Wash clear Infernal ties Faith, leaves you , at the Alter Tattooed, in your own shame In Times of War In Trial by Fire Death, calls you by your name A Tribute to Edgar Allen Poe...

I love this poem. I think Deaths voice deepens depending on your choice of poison. Than all fear leaves the soul. :) kelli
