Those who seek solace in the now instead of lying peacefully in the past
Seeking the demons that corrupted the innocence of love and lust
A kiss to die for and a body to bury deep within the confines of darkness
Bringers of death and an eternal lasting slumber, swallowing security
Needing nothing but to breathe, wrapping up in slender coils of deceit
Warmth seeping from the veins, heart beat slowing to an unnatural pace
Flesh being consumed by the Plagues of Ancient kings, slowly
The memories a breeding ground for maggots, kin to the Prince of Darkness
Perilous steps, teetering on the edge of freedom, watching the life escape
A pool of mirrored water reflects the true nature of the beast
Blazing fires change the eyes view of the far off horizon, fading
Justice no longer required for the brief survival of humanity
Swirling into realms of uncertainty, slay the beast is the shout
Hunger filling the bloodless body, stars and stripes nothing but ashes
Poverty strikes the richest of men, and the meek inherit the throne
Broken and weak, the ghosts hunt the dreams of the damned
