King of the Beast

Behold! The crown has been snatched by the Abyss While the war continues to rage between the locusts and the eagles. One side screams, “We need a King!” Like the people demanded during the Golden Age of Israel While the other side says, “We need Leadership!” Hoping to take a huge leap towards a substantial direction But yet the Abyss spreads open like a virus Ready to cause mass destruction from hell below So Behold! The crown is snatched by the Abyss The Abyss in which the Destroyer stands He will let out the locusts as they will sting the herd The sacrificial lambs in which the Destroyer will call I hear the screams of agony From external and internal wounds With cries of “Why have you forsaken us?” Because they thought the locusts would give them victory Yes Behold! The Destroyer who claims himself as the King of the Beasts The king who will bloody the ocean and burn the land The king who will cause the angels to rise up from the Euphrates The king who calls himself Abaddon playing the devil’s game I hear the woes calling out from the owls. I see light turning to darkness. The war still rages between the frogs and locusts But the Abyss has the kingdom which the eagles soar away.
