Sanctus

Very dark song about a man that hears the voice of god

Sanctus

Hear that noise!  Hear it tremble across the sky

Hear it tremble inside you mind, dragging you into the dark

Feel that force! Feel it tearing the earth apart

Feel it tearing your soul apart, tearing your all into the void

I call your name

Sanctus!

And there you were, but weren’t amongst the light

I found you lurking amongst the dark

Saving my soul and heart

Healing my wounds and eyes

Giving me truth and peace

And there you were

I heard your call, I heard it deep inside my mind

“Destroy it, destroy it all and save no life”

I felt your essences, I felt you essence within in my heart

“Give them hell, teach them about my wrath”

Gloria Tura

Gloria Tura

Deus deus Sabaoth

 Pleni sunt caeli et terra

Your judgment came, and with it devastation throughout the land

I hear them beg, I hear them beg for mercy

Mercy which you no longer have, mercy which they ignored

Will they, cry out you name?

Sanctus

Will they repent for their heresy and sin?

I heard you voice

“Destroy it all”

Hosanna in excelsis
Benedictus qui venit in nomine domini

No one left, no one to carry on

No one to blaspheme your name, no one tell me lies

What shall I do now?

I hear you voice

“All existence I see before you must be wiped out.

Dream, reality, memory, and yourself”

God almighty

Glory is yours

Glory is yours

Great are skies and the earth

Give us, give us peace

Great are the skies and the earth

Hosanna to the heights

Blessed be he who comes in the name of the lord

Author's Note

This is more of the lyrics to a song i composed, rather than a stand alone poem, therefore the flow is very choppy if not aided by its melody. nevertheless this is by far the darkest work I've done. so much that i tend to creep myself out at times when reading, thus i really debated if i should post his or not, i finally did but i know it will not be without controversy if you are able to truly grasp the message behind it. I leave that as your challenge.

This is really well written... It lets you play with the thought as well as it delivers meaning... I really like it.

I hesitate to get controversial on this one - the poem itself is well crafted - yes, it is dark but sometimes dark is necessary - we have to purge it, exorcise it from our souls so that it doesn't eat us in our sleep. I LOVED the mix of Latin and English - found that awesome.
From my own perspective - I don't ascribe to the wrathful, vengeful God - so I suppose that would be the point of controversy - but since I respect you as a writer and a poet - I believe that the poem has its merits and to go off on a theological tangent would do you and it a disservice. I LIKED the poem. No need to get on a soapbox.

Intense writing with strong emotions building up, trying to seek absolution or an answer to a higher being to see if they're there. I love the flow of this and the despair for the calling, the strong prayer to this being. Absolutely different if to say the least.

Wow. One of the best things I've read in a while. I highly recommend this, and it's "moving" I guess. Care to read mine? http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/QueenCannibal/807174/
