Five Kings of Darkness

Having horns of coal His hair is of twisting smoke His flesh a dim gold His black blood tastes of sea salt Holding a tyrant's sceptre With a lion's face Skin of green-tinted copper With a flaming mouth On a throne of red fire That certain men bow down to Rusted iron skin A face of a proud eagle Who whispers to all Robed in red animal blood Worshipped though he's deaf and blind Made of silver scales His own see-through blood is sweet With a sad fish-face Who drowns the lost in rivers While proclaiming "Purity" Made of tin and lead A dragon loosely held up With flames breaking though Its flames used for magic spells Its tin scales used for potions A Tanka chain to desribe the 5 demon kings from the religion of Manichaeism.
