Line up all ye gods of war
ready your display
don your darkest hour suit
chant all you would say
unsheath hidden attributes
to bring on soul's decay
flail uncanny word & deed
for this is now your day
little one from here & there
sing with one accord
sacrifice your souls to hell
as if you can afford
there is no death, there
is no life, there's only
here and now
in the end the strong
will win & to them slaves
must bow

"Come everlasting night!" you cry
raged voice to shake the heavens
circle here, perform great signs
in union with your brethren
line up all ye little gods
choke this world with madness
kill the spirit with your yoke
view suffering with much gladness
& when he says it is your time
be peaceful with your plight
die with all your dignity
for you so loved the night...

line up all ye gods of war...


Sunkissed.

I had to read this a couple of times to be able to see inside of it. It was worth the read each time.
