The Language of Dark
The knife entered his chest as his last breath exited his lungs
The drive of the cold steel blade was inserted without blame
As the bleeding hand that did the deed released the handle
He could hear the final gasp of air escape with a name
The last effort that was whispered silently was "Bariesous endeiknumi ekeinos"
As the killers hand pulled back in shock and awe
He could not believe the words that were spoken to him
The victom was a lifelong advocate of the church
Now laying dead on the floor he had no one but this lost soul that ended his life
The killer felt something relieve his cold ways and instill fear instead
The fear of passion and remorse took over his body
"Hinati apodidomi ekeinos archo" he exclaimed in his native toungue
This was the language that all power spoke to their followers
This was the language of disbelief
Now the one that stalked and executed the follower of the Lord
Was no longer allowing himself to follow any other
The dark one that sent him to end the life of a dedicated speaker of church
Thought to himself why must I follow another
The man I killed last words before he was to meet his leader
Controdicted his ways and form on this earth and time
I refuse to follow another to do their deeds
I feel remorse for what I have done
As the killer stood over the victom he raised his bloody blackened hand high
Gripping the knife that entered the holy chest as if it were a snake from the garden
He lunged unto the cold smiling blade as it entered his beating heart
As he fell onto his victom to pass into the next
His last breath that was released to noone was
"Diabolos endeiknumi ekeinos"
Translations: (Ancient Greek to English)
Bariesous endeiknumi ekeinos = Jesus did this to me
Hinati apodidomi ekeinos archo = Why must he say this
Diabolos endeiknumi ekeinos = Devil did this to me
