Kingdom Of Ashes

Barren,
Hollow,
Soundless,

Sodden,
Harrowed,
Boundless,

From shore to blackened shore,
Ruined border to sundered line,
All lay in ashes,
Ruled only by time,
Golden throne emptied,
By hubris hand dethroned,
Supping on the heartblood,
Till the King stands alone,

This Kingdom of ashes,
This funereal waste,
Wind howls through the ruin,
The bones of this devastated place,
This Kingdom of ashes,
This pyre long burned out,
Destroyed by fury,
Fueled by fear and doubt,

Dissected,
Molested,
Doomed,

Infected,
Infested,
Entombed,

The rot,
The rot is setting in!
Seething underneath,
Just beneath the skin,
The death,
The dread is marching on,
Singing from ruined throats,
A tyrants mournful song,
You get out,
What you put in,
When you work for death,
You earn the wages of sin!

Brutal

Savage

I had to read it twice to get the feel.

THX!!

Set to music that would be great death metal song .

Thank YOU!

You know, that's not a surprise to me, because I was hearing some intense drumming in my head while I wrote it, which is why the cadence is partially disarticulated. Thanks for your feedback!

DooM porn .. right on eh!
Nice.

a reply to: TrueBrit

Excellent, per usual.

Totally agree that it would also work as an metal song.

I keep trying to get death to come work with me. Better pay.

a reply to: TrueBrit

The apocalypse is here!!

I agree, it would be a great metal song!

a reply to: TrueBrit

This is great TrueBrit, I like your writing style, it is reminicent of England around the 1500's

Some may think the last line:

You earn the wages to sin!

More fitting.

Ah sanctions... extremes at either end always have them.
