THE AUTUMN SILENCE

Save me-

The villagers are taking over

They have come to stake me

Or burn with desire

I will rise again for they do not know

What will kill me

What will kill me so

Here it comes, the sun

The blinding, the burning

The smell of charcoaled skin

But I will rise again

The dark sky has replenished me

From blood that flows beyond

The bodies have fallen so gracefully

While the stench of death is drawn

A palace of demon-kind has drifted

Through a portal bright

While summoning laughter echoes

The holy prayers are denied
