Escape an Eternity

Lyrics I wrote to accompany another work

The sky starts to bleed 
As the dead start to cry 
You're left here to suffer 
Without a reason why 
You pray to the heavens 
But know they didn't hear 
Are you able to hold together 
In the face of your fear 

You run and you try to fight 
Lost in this forever night 
You can't win, their numbers grow 
You're the star in the devil's show 
You want to leave but its way too late 
This eternity you can never escape 

You hear their bloody cries 
Outside in the streets 
You hide in the darkness 
And prolong your defeat 
You look to the heavens 
Ask to just see the day 
Because you know that in hell 
You can never get away 

You run and you try to fight 
Lost in this forever night 
You can't win, their numbers grow 
You're the star in the devil's show 
You want to leave but its way too late 
This eternity you can never escape 

The sky turns to flame 
As you let out a cry 
Wonder why you've been left 
To suffer and to die 
You curse at the the heavens 
And do so without fear 
You ask why they hate you 
And why they left you here 

You ran and tried to fight 
But couldn't survive the night 
Their numbers grew, but you can win 
'Cause you'll go out with a grin 
Eat a bullet before its too late 
A monster eternity you will escape

Nicely done Artemis. You have a good sense of rhyme and flow. I was always a big horror fan so this dark piece felt good to read. It's a shame people here don't review more horror poems but I think the females here outnumber the males and the majority of them write love poems. Lots of good stuff in this. Nice job.
