FORGOTTEN……FORSAKEN LANDS……

Loading ...Heavens pour fire,
The soil burns in reply.
The earth screams in agony,
Down comes crashing the sky.
Mother nature pleads for help
But none heed her cry.
Souls burnt black,
The hollow shells walk.
Darkness shall strike back,
While satan gives a knock.
As man shall smirk at pain,
and humanity he will mock.
They say this is my land,
Where I shall rule till eternity.
The lord has backed away,
And doomed me with immortality.
I shall see the fall of mankind,
And rot among the skeletons of society.
The mighty kingdom has fallen,
In the dark, I see no light.
There rises a shriek from the earth itself,
As its children do nothing but fight.
The moon has waned one last time,
And it shall remain one endless dark night.
This is the end of civilization.
The bricks of it crumble in the acid rain.
Man drinks man’s blood,
As if he’s forgotten the pain.
Let zeus and satan be gone.
This is my land!
Here, I rock! I rule! I reign!
Look me not in the eye,
For I am the bane of man-kind.
Vultures shall rip your eyes,
And you shall serve me blind.
Neither hope, nor solace,
Naught death, not grace,
In these lands shall you find.
Fate is the judge, I am the law.
Justice and freedom are just lies.
I can take out the heart,
And make it’s beating stop,
In front of their very eyes.
For here one needs no heart, no soul,
Only lust and anger would suffice.
I rule by sheer power,
It is neither evil nor good.
By power you survive,
And by blade and blood.
Have you ever seen death before?
I decide you should.
So you think you are brave?
Many do, until they see what is under it’s hood.
In his anger, the lord made earth of paradice.
I shall create hell on earth.
Each mother shall think twice,
For every child will be evil from birth.
Honesty, valor, souls and emotions,
Shall be wiped off, for what they are worth.
Snakes, jackals, hyenas and humans,
Shall chew your bones and grin with mirth.
You can try to speak out, to rebel, to run,
But you are gagged and bound by my
invisible chain.
Those who try to think or threaten
Were, are and will be slain.
For none have left and none shall leave,
All those who enter my domain.
Do not question, my eternal slave
This is my land!
Here, I rock! I rule! I reign!
