Skulking Between Shadows of Midnight's Mask
Skulking Between Shadows Of Midnight's Mask
Stay there demon, in pits in which you burn
your echoed curse, invades a fevered brain.
As you shy away from, bright that you spurn
while your foul mouth belches soul eating rain.
You dare not- face just wrath in light of day
skulking between shadows of midnight's mask.
You dread most- help from prayers others pray,
truth's invincible shields that take you to task.
Rise up now, from hellish fires you embrace,
meet answers to cursed torments once you sent.
Hating laughter- as you fear the human race,
you found your time on earth was evil-spent.
Stay there dark child, in pits in which you burn.
As you turn away- from light you now spurn.
