Visions of a Journey

By Ryan of the North

Pale the eyes of a darker existence,
Entrenched in blackest experience,
Radiate through a deadly persistence,
Demanding fury from hardened patience,

Nominate the violated to retaliate,
Banishment to rot in place,
Sustained punishment perpetuates,
Loss of control exterminates,

Infection comes to the open wound,
For Hades to lull the soul to swoon,
Fade into the absolute,
Devoured in jaws that bare no tooth,

Red strings pulled by claws,
Terrified by the faces in the maw,
Attention to the curtain draw,
Answer now the deeper call,

Immolate the demon’s hand,
Emanate from a hidden plan,
Anticipate the sinking sands,
Desolated in forbidden lands,

Jab the blade into the clay,
Twisted scales saw through the gates,
Mischievous clouds shall roll and play,
Devoid of love and even hate,

Washed a shore by bloody waves,
Foam exits the gapping caves,
Hollow screams and laughter swayed,
Insanity has taken over thy name,

Deliver stars to empty cells,
Locked away on dusty shelves,
Silenced by visions of mighty Hell,
Annihilate the parasitic swell,

Rectify the guilty pleasures,
Perseverance is triumph measured,
Find the flames that burn at center,
Blackened fire sought on cursed adventures…
