Listen to poem:

When the Heavens Fall-12x12

When the Heavens Fall

The devious despotic dark ones shall descend
Riding sullen stallions to this hell will attend
Bringing with them fire and fear, a ballistic blend
Rulers of Lords and Kings, tyranny will impend

The sun will stop shining, the darkness shall extend
The forsaken have fallen and thus set the trend
Shivering silence no human can comprehend
Lachrymal lashes through weeping walls shall transcend

Cathedrals of condemnation, priests will pretend
Impetuous entombment, Angels must defend
Disjunctive destruction the demons do contend
Illumination and damnation, battle's END.


MP3...The Four Horsemen...by Metallica

Winged Warrior...excellent meter and Monorhyme that present a dark, foreboding visual of 'when the heavens fall'. Best wishes for the contest! Sandra
