Letter, Lines

Sacred are the living?
And just why would that be?
Decay, gifts a-giving!
Under the skin to see.

Light, fall fast! Soul, fly away.
Poison, work thee hard.
Sunlight in my sky, shine grey!
Crystals, bear thy shard!

Emperor of ancient world?
Best that ye revive.
Spear in warrior hands a-hurled!
No longer alive!

Doom, claim all. End Times, begin.
How else can we win?
Blanch everything, light of Sin!
Drown it all, O vin!

Wicker man and bickering mare.
Tortoise, eat the hare.
O tornado, on a tear!
Thunderstorms aren't rare...

Warp and woof. The Devil's hoof.
Gambrel, pitch and roof.
Smoke of bonfire, in a poof!
Joker, time to goof!

Hated are the days of man.
Lengthen not each span.
Clock of mankind, how you ran!
Eat, reptilian!
