The Danse Macabre

 

Tablo reader up chevron

Red Lips

Thin red lips stretched in a smile

Frowning brows upon upon eyes so dead

Ruby lips form a smile, thin red lines in the night

A shadow of a smile, red lips and pearls

 

A checkered floor of glass and gold

She stands alone ‘tween pillars of old

The Eye watches, a Sword in its wake

To pierce the oval in the space it takes

 

Before two pillars holding up the skies

A gateway to the pyramid where evil men lie

Baptized in black oil, she calls to it

A three way prison where black blood boils

A woman smeared in unholy oil

 

The gateway to eternity to power and wealth

Sell your soul only if it’s worth the price

Make the call the bargain is struck

To stand tall against the rain

 

Make the call the bargain is struck!

Pride, fame, fortune and all of fate

Theirs for the taking our lives for the World

A secret lives in our minds

 

Through a tunnel we see the world

We are blocked from the shadow that looms

They hide in the open and spin the tales

Subverting our minds through poetry in flesh

Poetry in verse and poetry in motion

 

When the hammer falls and the bell rings true

All we know will turn to gloom

The world will fall and Man will die

Except those that live to be ruled

Dawn in Shadow

To live forever is not a curse
To walk this world young and strong
Drinking blood to slake your thirst
For such a gift, is this so wrong?
 
For a millennia I have lived
A thousand times over the world I have seen
Many wonders you will not believe
In the darkest places I have been
 
The sun's rays sometimes I miss
But there is more to be thankful for
In the shadows I have found bliss
To be reveled in forevermore
 
As you fight your petty wars
And feed mankind's growing rift
I continue my journey, this world to explore
Ah, to live forever is such a gift!

Kiss the Night

There is a chill in the air
In this city where rivers run red
The mortals live without a care
Unaware of those who are undead
 
The world is old but so am I
Centuries of cold nights have I seen
In this world where all Men must die
I am the thing in the night, a gentleman fiend
 
My thirst is slaked on the blood of Men
Like cattle they come to the slaughter
Religion would curse me and call me damned
Yet in the dark I am full of power
 
Do you not kill to survive?
How then am I so different?
We do what we must to stay alive
Who are you to pass judgement?
 
I love you still, my fragile friend
I would watch you close like a lover
Although on your blood is what I depend
Your sacrifice makes me...forever
