Avengers of Hell

Lost mountains air beneath my feet

Wind blowing mighty in my face

Gathering up energy to fly

Feeling the sweat rise in my skin

 

Wastelands from the dark abyss

As far as the eye can see

Death lies at the blink of an eye

Journey through the gates of hell

 

Flames rise to the skies of black

Heaven's angels scream with power

Blood shattering tears fall

With the pain of a thousand years at hand

Memories to be lost

With no hope spreading

Nothing but the blackness of one's heart

The cracking sound signals war

 

Flash of light infused with anger burns

Destroying all things awake

Crushing their dreams

Breaking their hearts

 

Bodies lie half dead

Moans are heard far wide

The avengers choose their path

Destroying all humanity left

 

Soldiers pick up arms

Prepare the fight of ages

The gates of hell fling open

Fate has been chosen.

Favorite stanza: Flames rise to the skies of black
Heaven's angels scream with power
Blood shattering tears fall
With the pain of a thousand years at hand

I really like the ending stanza too! You have a way of ending your poems with a sort of "oomph" that i admire. Difficult subject matter to capture as well.
