Pestilential Reign - Condemned

Descending, strangling out the light

Pervasive, overtaking

Shadowy ignobility, of one mind

Acolytes, servants who revel in this darkness

And the chaos it breeds

Hordes of formless, swarming in chaos

Penumbral, foreboding, darkening the skies

Ecliptic, noxious malevolence

A sickening hum churns the bowels

Frenzied embodiment of my vile wrath

Winged terror, pervasive, meandering, omnipresent

Through manifold eyes I see

Alien mutations not of any discernible entomological origin

Distorted by time, will, forced evolution into

Minions of the blackest bidding

With an uncanny precision they seek prey

To consume the remnants, a failed world’s stead

Feeding on the detritus, victims not yet dead

Reaving last vestiges of expiring life

Amongst cinders deafening, the roar of their inevitability

Glinting under a fleeting gaze of a rotting sun as it steps from hiding

Smoke obscured, for a brief moment

Reddened as if stung by the acrid scent of death

Dipping back behind its veil in refusal of

The maelstrom taking place
