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.
