G/Garroted/Otherworldly Subversions (Part I: The Crucible)
So rang the bells of hope and healing And through all the land did they resonate Kingdoms rose, no evil concealing Nor wicked man's folly to castigate. Armies grew lazy without war to wage Drinking, laughing, sporting, sleeping Truly saw they no end to this age 'Twas all the greater for the darkness creeping.
Whispered fears grew ever louder Bodies gone to fat began to stir As dormant forges now floundered Warriors's preparation was deterred. Iron hearts trembled at the slightest shadow And martial arts once potent had been lost Spirited resistance faced a great embargo Cowering fops raising rusted swords crossed.
Shaking hands bore sapphire flags As cold sweat began to flow. The horizon filled with clouds like rags And eldritch lightning struck aglow. Across the land did the chaos mount And what came next was nightmare given form. The black sky cracked and evil poured out A yawning portal spawning abyssal swarms.
Screaming demons and unhallowed ghosts Flooded the sky and tainted the land. The defenders balked before the foul host And many fled, their posts unmanned. Open slaughter was their goal And slaughter they did with otherworldly glee Crimson rivers flowed around ivory knolls And dead eyes bore witness to the bloody spree.
They drank from skulls filled with blood And wet their blades on all they found Innocents choked under suffocating mud And unholy blasphemies left charred mounds Yet amidst the tumult an even greater evil Descended from the portal and with him came damnation.
His minions cowered at his approach And burning steeds paved his way. He bore the weight of power beyond reproach And all was naught before his fell gaze.
His cadre of elites kneeled before him and reaffirmed their black allegiance. Chattering devils lingered amidst the din eager to march as untold legions.
The arch-demon brought forth a sinister orb its purpose the harvest of human souls. He raised it high and spoke words warped and glimmer it did with ethereal cold. His retinue trembled as silent energies built crackling in the air and staining the earth. So it was that all those killed were snatched from the ether and locked in berth.
The screams of thousands echoed through the void and from the sphere flowed to the portal. Muscled knights cheered with blades deployed As the light gave form to a serpent abnormal. The Great Beast roared, and they answered its call a dozen pronged heads bellowing at once. it descended from the portal, and the angels balked for now the voice of doom had sung.Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
