Silence descends from its celestial heights
As midnight lays its hand over sleepless children
Peace pretends to rule a land cursed by chaos
As bloody doves howl in mourning to the shattered remains of a moon
Serenity slips into wrinkled sheets of past relations
As dancing waves trip over their lovers in frantic embraces
Disaster is on the horizon, twisting and turning as a storm
When supposed silence is slashed by a god's might
And peace is smothered in the bosom of white angels
Serenity cries out at the loss of its carefully planned play
Suffering seeps into the marrow of hopeless heroes
As broken ghosts and bleeding spirits spill out of the earth's grave
Screaming banshees wail songs governed by a choir of devils
As possessed winds stir the fragile souls clinging to life
Death grants life its greatest reprieve, laying over the bodies
As all that is left are calls in desperation for remorse...
Returned with sour glares from the heaven's almighty eyes
And the vengeful words left over from hell's uprise
Silence...
As true as a child's love crashes into place,
Shadows...
Darker than the greatest evil bow and leave,
Life...
Dimly fades into its sibling's all-powerful fate
Death Reigns
