Left out in the unending forest
shadows walk the earth
My limbs bound to the dark tree branches
and the roots running deep below
I peer out to the beyond
to the land surrounding
the great fog is drawing near
and the chilling wind whispers out my name
louder and louder
it is coming for me
unending questions remain unanswered
I was punished to rot
my cries are left unheard
Myself forgotten and my fate sealed
Only left with the birds overhead
they cry out words i will never know
as the fog covers my kingdom like an ocean of mist
As I start to pass
on to the next world
the fog has swallowed up nearly all that is visible
I still see the great mountain in the distance
it serves only as a reminder
I will have unending hopelessness
Til the crows consume my body
And the fog destroys my soul

The Fog Has Arisen

Standing on the coast when the wind begins to shout
I look out to the violent sea to horrors from far out
The ancient fog is coming near and with it our demise
as lightning striking all around from wicked blackened skies
An ancient tale a century since it has last been seen
And now the day has come for black and darkness to redeem
Its haunting tale of evil plagues the touch of satans hand
The fog is seeking vengeance as it desecrates the land
passed down through generations
it is a tale as old as time itself
for years the prophecy has been foretold
it has been written, that one day
on a night not unlike this
you could stand upon the coast
and lookout at the sea
being illuminated only by the full moon of the midnight hour
the roar of the sea and the scream of the wind fill the air
a chill runs through and through
like an avalanche of mist and haze,
the fog stretches slowly over the horizon
with it brings an amalgamation of unholy terrors from the beyond
the stench of death and rot proceeds the visions of dreams once lost
and a fate that has been sealed
for all eternity.
Panic stricken villagers are running bout the land
The mist crawls up the walls and windows like Satan’s chilling hand
Voices whisper chants of evil, songs of the night
incantations of madness, the fog has shown its might
Wind blows howling through the trees, I hear the thunder roar
The fog is calling out my name with screaming raining pours
To stop the fog, I do not know what is that I should do
Bringing death to anyone that the fog passes through.

chilling midnight air
it’s all around
there is no holy land
i see no saviors here
the gods of pain and wicked wrath
smite me down to size
the stars they flash tides of war
lightning strikes before my eyes
watch upon my kingdom from my palace in the sky
i look down at the dirt and grime and see the reasons why
these people are my slaves
a throne of greed and gluttony is where i sit
as these vermin mine for riches mine from within the pit
their blood is on my hands
my whip is lashing cross the backs of those who don’t obey
i laugh with joy at cries of pain as tears drop to the sand
they will do as i say
the peasants pray to gods above to put me in my place
i fear no gods and fear no men for i will never cease
i am the only one
anubis shows his face he’s come to take my soul
a sinking pit within my gut says this could be the end
ive taken it too far
the voice it booms throughout the land
damning me to scorching sun on burning seas of sand
but i will not give in
i draw my holy sword to try and fight him off
the gods they stare and laugh as anubis only scoffs
man cannot kill the gods
taken from my home beyond the sands of time
a blazing hell so far and wide and no one here but i
for all eternity
chilling midnight air
it’s all around
there is no holy land
i see no saviors here
the gods of pain and wicked wrath
smite me down to size
the stars they flash tides of war
lightning strikes before my eyes
looking all around im in a frantic haze
the wind begins to blow i feel them looking down upon me
the breath of the gods
it’s getting hard to see around i don’t where i am
i feel the desolation of eternal wasteland
the sand starts to rise
i’m trapped within infinity but i start to run
the serpent of the desert chooses me as the only one
and rises the midnight sun
the hammer of the gods comes crashing through the sky
they watch the burning world, a cosmic sea of light
it’s my time to die

Journey Through Acheron

See the river, past the rocks, in the void of no return
out in the distance, a black figure emerges,
a dark gloom within his eyes
the water is black, the stench of death,
it flows towards my eternal hell
i climb aboard, i hear the bell,
the toll sends shivers to my core
we journey on, the acheron,
for we will not return
In the circles of hell, my destiny lies,
but my fate is still unclear
Soon I will know what lies, beyond the river styx, eternal suffering
i look up at charon, his face is cold and still
there is no turning back
journey through acheron
the bank is near, i shiver with fear
charon hears my cries
his head turns down, but his whip it rises
and lashes down up my back
i scream in pain, but this pain is nothing
compared to my awaiting fate
we reach the end, the fire it rises
a wicked laugh echos beyond

Triumph of the Wolf

Looking outward from atop my hill. Its all taken away
But I must not stop now the pack will journey on.
Food is scarce in this barren land. We must take it to prevail.
I will not let them die. (this or “see them cry”)
The trampled snow has been painted red, for we could not but kill
And take from those who left us dying on the hill.
Retreating back into our lair this battle has been won.
But with the human settlers the war has just begun.
Running with the pack, a hazy mist of snow in air
Bullets whistle by
Forest deep we will retreat, but this is not the end
Until the last one dies.
Charge past trees, shaking frozen ground.
A murderous stampede.
They will all pay for what they’ve done
And I will watch them bleed.
Traps are set throughout the land, the enemy grows wise.
They try to catch us off guard, but I see through the disguise.
One by one were taken down, our forces growing thin
But I am not deterred, for I will strike them down
All thats left is her and I, this war cannot be lost.
But as I look at her, we both are growing weak.
She is trapped, they hear her cries, they’re coming ever so close.
The wimper softly dies, and I am left here all alone.
I’m filled with rage, but I won’t cry,
The job is not yet done
I come to kill off last of men
And leave the only one
They’ve trapped me here, Im left to die
I see them coming near
I look out at my fallen kingdom
And can’t help shed a tear.
