The Demons Are On the Hunt

the demons are on the hunt 
they lurk in the shadows
these days without sun

dark

    dark 
        these days

the demons take pleasure
from the victims pain
a cycle never ending

round 
     and 
         round 
              it goes


eyes soulless
ice drips inside veins
as the hammer falls

time 
    and 
        time 
            again

in packs the soulless hunt 
their eyes aflame 
when prey lay

 hurt 
     injured

           easy 
               pickings

a bloodlust
trying to be quenched
but it`s a thirst 
that can`t be satisfied

try
   as 
     they 
         might


many scars show
and many are invisible
but most wounds 
               never heal
