Fly to the highest mountains
And find the souls floating
Catatonic among the clouds.
Dreams spill forth from days
Lost to battles of long ago,
Doubts binding the wayward
In a forgotten state, unscathed.
Touch the sea of lost minds
Above the unaware lands
Ravaged of all it's treasures.
Be wary not to fall prey
To the suffering and departed,
Focus your mind and carry on
To your mountains once again.
Eternity will wait forever
While this war rages on
Recruiting for the clouds.
Alas! The Omega is nigh,
Granting a prospect of peace
Among lands torn and dying
Protecting what never was.
Thoughts of salvation at hand
Guide you forward, heedless
Of warning or dangers unknown.
Engulfed in a deep darkness,
Every creature takes notice
Of something gone very awry
With dread aching in their bones.
Confusion and fury prevailed
In the lingering darkness
Where time seemed to cease.
Unbeknown to the lands,
Their only hope lies in ruins
At the base of towering alters
Bestowing the apocalypse.
Warring on the wastelands
Is the only action worthwhile
As souls dream overhead.
Now the skies above reign
In an eternal nightmare
As the soldiers below
Suffer the fury of the dead.
Author notes
Meh, it's not great, but I thought I'd try to write something anyway. It's been a few months since I last wrote anything, so I'm sorry for being a bit rusty. Anyway, I suppose that's all for now. Enjoy and leave me thy thoughts!
