Immortal Torment
"Immortal Torment"
wolves would howl and demons would prowl
as gold full Moon invaded
a starless sky hushed a muffled cry
as human spirits evaporated.
pathways of gold grew decaying mold
once old clock chimed dark midnight hour
visions from Hell cast gory spell
flying bats from belfry tower.
fangs fell free 'neath dead skeleton tree
as creamy clouds turned to misty dust
a beast of dread rare form, undead,
swooped in on wild wind gust.
enraged in craze it struck in rage
a sweet young thing was blood drained
a bright soul lost for centuries cost
a lifeless figure in bondage, chained.
a wooden tomb secured her womb
caged by a vampire seed
her joy was none as she bore a son
who ... on her bones ... did feed.
she writhed in pain an evil stain
left her a hollow shell
immortal torment grew as each breath she drew
she hoped she would expel.
but time stood still and broke her will
doomed to a hidden life
her darkest dreams erased sunbeams
as she prayed for feel of knife.
