Veins swelling
Hearts erupting
Blood spewing
We die alone
Chaos Ruling
Murderous rampages begin
Destructive actions
To cry out in pain
Is what we use
Black Clouds surrounding
Crimson skies warn us
That there is more to come
More to see
More to draw in
Taking a Breath
cold as ice
we exhale slow
and can only hope
that we find a new day
Where our veins do not swell
and our hearts do not give in to the misery
As we fall silently
From the edge of destruction
We realize only then
That we have met face to face
With our filthy promised demise...
