Warring wounded Warriors winded,
as they stand by the blood-stained shore;
Battalions breathily bruised and bended,
as they begin to march on for more…
Evil encounters evolve and enslave,
for their conquering captains do command;
As demons devour and deprave,
decompositional defaults within their demand.
Lachrymal lonely landscapes lament,
as deceptions and illusions take control;
Edacious entombment evokes,
evil incarnates infiltrating the immortal soul…
Weapons of war wager wild,
armored ambient angels lift their golden swords;
Egocentric evil must be exiled,
as we recover and resurrect for history records.

Fate's Footfalls
'Crimson Tides of the Underverse'
Ladders we climb, greasing the grime, in mountains of malignant moral
Committing our crime, with rhythm and rhyme, impending the immoral
Foreshadowing fates, we open the gates, arming the quantizing quarrel
Creation creates, sad sorrow awaits, within the ambient Adonic auroral
Beyond the tides, where love divides, the moonlit metaphorical shores
Decision decides, our confusion confides, the embryonal egg explores
The minstrels play, behind the floral bouquet, the pandemonium pours
Trampled by truth, egotistical youth, the wordsmith weathers the wars
Silent screams, within decompositional dreams, a dramaturgical destiny
Truth or dare, we all shall bear, the crippling crosses of effusive entropy
Eyes that bleed, now take heed, for who is your friend or emulous enemy
Fissiparous fate, a harbinger of hate, providing a pandemic penal penalty.
