Revenant

Revenant does not eat human flesh
As he was portrayed in epic of Gilgamesh 
His body however will always stay fresh
He can’t be stopped by a wire in which he would enmesh

The harvest moon is eerie red
But when I look upon it I’m not sad
It sings the ballad of revenant the undead
And even though his awe inspiring visage can cause dread

He is marvel to see
Necrotic plus neural energy of unearthly
Negative resistance to knowledge is his majesty
With by just the base of idea being spawned reality

Perhaps the most deep question of all
Does revenant have a soul?
Perhaps more profoundly then human he has a soul
Eerie red moon shines on the path it will take past winnowing hall
