Lord of Darkness

Mayday mayday the message read The ship capsized a lot are dead What more should I do not to go mad The pen wrote down what he had said The men bad maimed were lying around The bow and stern were on the ground The hull was bent its steel defeat Gone were the nails from its failing sheet When I arrived no one could know How to defeat the bitter foe The beams now shuddered upon the sand Aloud in the withered book I read When God demanded me to bite In your pale neck after the rite He asked me to show the world the truth That all the blood you spill to soothe My lover died way too slow She asked for mercy without know I locked the door and watched the rain Like falling tears of love and pain Thy mother wept and cried for her I could not hear her voice ashore Thy brother tried to save her soul He didnt know i had played foul But vain the whine and vain the cry I motioned quick and said goodbye My body was nowhere to find They didnt know I was unkind. For Im a never dying Lord Their faces rapt flew overboard I had no mercy when they died And sung the song of the high tide I found her eyes and spoiled her mind The bitter end came swift and kind I drank your blood and watched you die The darkness came and made me fly.

One day they say he will be dead and all our children free from dread how long have we to endure this pain The parents tears ran in the rain He is the darkness that comes at night And finds the women he longs to plight His eyes are flames his nails are red Like snakes he crawls to our bed My heart is dry, my soul is gone But still I have the human bone The human bone is like a tusk That I peruse for when its dusk. When I was young I went to church For God and good I thought to search Then on that day I saw the men who raped and slashed my sisters vein My sister died along the shore of a sea that God will love no more I then ran to my parents home to find the sword of steel and chrome My mother begged for me to stay She had no trust in my foray My father brought his horse to me To ride and find the evil three But on the road to kill the three I found a place !no light can see I heard a voice that called my name It was the Lord who knew my bane The bane of man and all my fears I lost and lived a thousand years But then I felt deep in my mind This was not what those humans bind. For humankind is something weak Intent on living so to speak Whereas I thrive and feed on blood And love and war they both seem good.!
