A poem by Nicholas Sinnett.
(Chorus)
“Flies, the flies, yes, eat the eyes,
Eat out the accursed eyes!
Rupture veins and intestines,
Flies, please come and eat the eyes!”
Proceeding though the gullies,
Celebrating their defeat,
Pounding on without a thought,
Dead hands tapping out a beat.
“Celebrate our sufferance!
Celebrate our sufferance!
Celebrate our sufferance!
Celebrate our sufferance!”
Cyclops eyes surveying the dead,
Praising madness and disease.
Sleeping towns shall raise their heads,
Doom'ed souls shall celebrate!
“Praise him for our sufferance!
Praise him for our sufferance!
Praise him for our sufferance!
Praise him for our sufferance!”
Calloused hands praise him in full,
Father Dearest, Lord of Rot!
Blighted throats cry out their love,
And the fallen rise and shout:
“Praise to Father, Lord of Rot!
Praise to Father, Lord of Rot!
Praise to Father, Lord of Rot!
Praise to Father, Lord of Rot!”
Lesions swell with pus and plague,
Maggots feast and flesh dissolves.
Very quick, it ends abrupt,
Daemons rush to gnaw your skin!
Rotted corpses dance to death,
Tallymen shall count your woes.
Festered joy we shall all live,
While the mites shall gnash our toes!
Papa’s mites shall chew your skin,
Mortals living treasured death -
Never safe from plague’s caress,
Scab-feasters shall strip your bones!
Skin shall rot and atrophy,
And our minds shall be at rest.
Come along on Father’s Ride,
Plague shall steal away your pain!
(Chorus x2 – build to crescendo)
“Flies, the flies, yes, eat the eyes,
Eat out the accursed eyes!
Rupture veins and intestines,
Flies, please come and eat the eyes!”
Author notes
Inspired by the "Carnivals of Despair" and "Nurgle's Cavalcades" sections of "Liber Chaotica: Nurgle" (a limited edition Black Library publication, no longer for sale). Note the seven syllables in every line (I think) - seven is the favoured number of the Plague God. Can possibly be interpreted as a song of sorts. Please give actual critical comments if you can, these would be greatly appreciated.

You seem confused. Maybe a little Ritalin will soften your moods?

Big and shiny huh? Like that strap on that you have to fuck with?!...Because, you like...don't have a very large penis...was what I was implying there...Fuck you, dick! Always fucking nay-saying! Everything I create! You fuckin' dick!

But, Dave, putting in (X2) makes it look pathetic and small (like your cock). If you write it all in full, it looks big and shiny.

Thank you. I have no idea who you are, but I noticed that I'm on your favourites list. It's good to get feedback from people that I don't know (or people that I don't know that I know, if you catch my drift).

Whoa. This is crazily enthralling and amazingly quick to read, I didn't even notice the length when reading it! I really like this, I see that you ask for a critical review but I find nothing to do so about. This is just WOW. Great job.

Pretty good, very...viceral, in places. What I'd point out is that you probably could've spared some space by putting "Chorus X2" whenever you were going to repeat yourself. Apart from that, it looks great.
