Doom's Siege

Here I stand
in this arena of lost souls
My feet forced me here


My breath fails me
I smell dry tears
Soon,i'll be drunk from it


Tragedy has been here
Pain,a visitor this august
a stranger turned owner


Disaster's home lies here


Family of sorrow,you birthed
its agony fills a book
this houshold despairs


Doom thrives here
