King Death

A thrashy song written for the band.

A creeping phantom in the night,

Stalks the living dimming light,

From ocean depths to mountain heights,

Nothing, no one, nothing, can escape,

Nothing, no one, nothing, will survive,

Nothing, no one, nothing, remains alive.

 

The silent ending to all pain,

Thoughts of life are dreamt in vain,

King Death forever reigns,

Nothing, no one, nothing, can escape,

Nothing, no one, nothing, will survive,

Nothing, no one, nothing, remains alive.

 

(Musical break)

 

A silky darkness covers you,

Liquid blackness filling through,

Now there's nothing you can do,

Nothing, no one, nothing, can escape,

Nothing, no one, nothing, will survive,

Nothing, no one, nothing, remains alive. 

Author's Note

Its a song, be gentle with all that stuff about repetition.

Reviews

[Tony]

Well, this is a pretty good metal song.
It's pretty repetitious though....just kidding, don't shoot!
Death is coming. Repent.

[Light]

this is good; very good! you open this poem with a knock out punch: "a creeping phantom in the night/stalks the living dimming light." there's nothing wrong with repetition in poems, especially when done this beautifully. this is a wonderful song/poem/write!!!
