Dun Days

Dun days? Clouds above in greys? Sapphire? Purple haze? Deterrence, dessicate, cays. Buildings on the raze. World around in twilight. Months ahead a-grim. Heart within me, burn with fight! Crater, have thy rim... Ocean, boil. Intestines, roil. Ignite, O my soil. Lightning, fry. My music, broil. Serpents, time to coil. Torment, grip each human life. Quest, on edge of knife. Fate and Fortune, seethe with strife. Demon-sultan, fife. Tyrant of tomorrow? Of him I never heard. Surcease sorrow, I borrow! Tower dark, thy third. Wind, tear down. Abhor, my crown. Demolish the town! Carnival chaos, thy clown. Hope, see self as flown. Flickering flame, explode. Death, come. Doom, hover o'er all. Chord suffering, play for some. Family, how ye gall. Terror, strike. O Panic, lurch. Bake and flay, O life. Silver were the trees of birch! Wisdom, thou art rife!
