Towards ArmageddonA Poem by Mahlo MetsysSympathetic poem to express the conflict/understanding of a Demon and an Angel in the biblical Armageddon.We hold ourselves as nameless The wolves, they will surround Our spirits remain ageless And never to be bound Prepare for our emergence Unleash the hellish hounds Kneel down for our resurgence Upon these hallowed grounds
[The Demon] "Writhing through graves that bring life from despair Grieving on slaves that my soul cannot bare Waiting and hating what may not come true Yet always creating new life in my view" [The Angel] "Born as an angel, not fallen from grace Hidden from sin in my own resting place In awe of great Eden, and light from the sun I wait within, dreaming, and coming undone"
We pride the dusk with nightmares We grace the saints with dreams Drawn down the marble light stairs To drown the cosmic screams Prepare for our emergence Embrace your mortal tears For we await resurgence To bless eternal fears
[The Demon] "Devoured by hatred and spite that makes me Untouched by the buried who don’t want me free Fly high black eagle, while I walk my way I’m writing my nightmares on your joyous play" [The Angel] "My path is my own, and I shall never stray You cross it with caution and see through the gray I’ll never be burned, but I’ll never break through Yet no one will see me, I may not be true" [The Demon] "Judgment is me, and my nightmares are screams The world is a wasteland of our broken dreams Devour the righteous, and dance on their graves And always find peace in the darkest of days" [The Angel] "Judgment is me, you can fight with my truth Forgiveness is righteous, be saved in your youth Consume all your sorrows and I’ll set you free Open your souls and my wings will not flee"
We hold ourselves as nameless The wolves, they will surround Our spirits remain ageless And never to be bound Prepare for our emergence Unleash the hellish hounds Kneel down for our resurgence Upon these hallowed grounds We pride the dusk with nightmares We grace the saints with dreams Drawn down the marble light stairs To drown the cosmic screams Prepare for our emergence Embrace your mortal tears For we await resurgence To bless eternal fears
[The Demon] "I pace through the fires and fight through the pain The sky lit with spires and crimson with rain I laugh at resistance from those I’ve confined Towards Armageddon, all else left behind" [The Angel] "Look up to the stars and embrace what they bring The healing of scars and the grace we will sing The chimes will not falter, though the ending is near Towards Armageddon, life’s meaning is clear" © 2014 Mahlo MetsysAuthor's Note
