Armies of the Reaper

I told you to hide--I told you to leave
Yet still you shunned me still you made a time of my pain.
I wish you'd have listened instead of having to bereave.
I don't understand  your simplistic disdain but now look at my razed plain.

I'll show you the monster you never wanted to see.
I rise from the coffin in the ground and the quickening dark.
I'll show you the monster you always thought me to be.
The armies of hell draw upwards and out in a giant arc.

Ghastly images of severed limbs and displaced jaws
And the lone peoples flayed skin
From their own distrubed hells they were chewed in the maws
Of the blood drenched jaws of men.

Yet a terrifying silence engulfed the earth
As the wretched rent their way across its face
A blight of pain and sorrow your second birth.
These contorted bodies reliving their personal nightmares is the true race.

You people don't get whats going on.
I'm here to make you scream and say
That your nothing more than a pawn.
I'll make you all pay.

The scythe slides across each empty husk
As the army crashes across the landscape
I lick the blood from the blade and stare at the dusk
The sodden ground of mashed bodies there is no escape.

You turned from me you never loved me.
Now you'll be part of the silent screaming death tides.
You said you wanted to be free.
Now I've shown you both sides and you'll be stuck in this hellish ride.

For all eternity you'll relive the single worst memory.
You'll feel it every second of every day you'll cry out.
Whether its being soaked in your families blood or tortured by thine enemy.
You'll feel it forever with no hope of being able to shout...

    I would not want to face an angry you, and that is the truth... I think you have captured the grotesque actions of the Reaper well... I love the word scythe its a really good word, and instrument too if we are honest . Love the imagery used, we can see the violence and vengance that the Reaper feeds to us the human race.

    I hope...

    that this will become a good contender. Just a free write to see what I'm still capable of.
