Bloodlines

The swarm of the hordes
 Living among the damned
 Blood spills upon
 The ruins of an empire
 The nightfall brings forth dismay
 Black as night they come
 In darkness they prey
 Beasts of conceding inner twilight
 Perpetual desolation through a virulent
 ...disdain
 Baneful in its hate
 Immolation of an impervious state
 Clasping onto its victim
 Ripping flesh from ragged bone
 Beasts of an imperial night
 Darkness perched upon a shadowy gravestone
 Images of the lost in their eyes
 A craving is reborn, a fervent desire
 Harboring the night, a cacophonous shriek
 A knife like piercing pitch
 Carried through the skies
 Stabbing into the heart of perpetual desolation
 Suffering seen through his eyes
 An awakening of perception
 Eyes bleeding out visions of dismay
 Malice unchainedAn alliance torn apart
 Shackled within a consensual nightmare
 Never again
