The Eternal War

(A lone voice whispers)



Some Antenoraians
Pray
In uneven straight lines

With a new Caiphas
The dark priest

In the Lost City of Dis
In The Far East

For the world
To taste
A Malebolge sour kiss

The Sowers of Scandal 
Living spiritually 
By The Great Lake of Cocytus

The hidden gateway to a soulless Judecca

The dark wells of fire and ice

To their God
Who pays with gold
In the form of desire

Only to entrap those into sin
As the Great Battle
Continues 

Into eternity 
As angels
Of Light

Led by Michael 

Slowly 
Win

Foundation of the piece.
No matter how dark it seems. There is always hope.
