Feeting Shadows Moonlight Mists , You Reject That Deathbringing List
Feeting Shadows Moonlight Mists , You Reject That Deathbringing List
Fleeting glimpses, much like visions of foggy distant shores
flashing about , vanishing behind imaginary doors
Shadows of death scurry while waiting ever vigilant calls of fate
echoes of gilded ages past with which one can relate
Moonlight stirs the spirit into a splendorious coming out
ever searching as a soul snatching eternal scout
Mists of vanishing forms dancing shadows within a brilliant flash
mind and spirit leap forth only to fall deep into a fiery crash
You feel the glow and embrace the forthcoming lightning bolt
often missing the vision but never the life ending jolt
Reject with cries but still doomed to the same triumphant measure
stopping man's brief interludes of shallow pleasure
That stir the soul and birth memories of heavenly wicked joy
guilt, greed and sins embraced by every girl and boy
Deathbringing shadows travel within such arcs of invincible power
man's vanity but a imaginary wisp of a crumbling tower
List your many transgressions and sign the blessed eternal waver
for refusal is the devil's delight and greatest favor. Robert L.

Death knocks it hello by way of our friends and relatives.
An old friend that seeks to find our measure.
I refuse to shake such a shallow and unworthy hand
At least thats better than accepting the invitation to join such a wicked band... :wink:
