DEATHSPAWN'S PROPHECY
by DEATHSPAWN the Mad

When the lights of Heaven cease to shine
I shall enter the mortals' mind
He'll look at me and with his dying breath
Speak my name and know I'm Death

After the sun dies and fades away
And will never see another day
Like a ebon hole consuming the sky
The master of all of those who die

I will come to Earth on that fateful day
And the last few souls I will take away
And I will carry them all to the Abyss
And they will know something is amiss

Then they will see the glow of Hell
And Lucifer shall say "Very well"
The fire shall eat them and consume them all
And the Heavens will shake and then they'll fall
And I will be the one who caused it all
I, Deathspawn, will then stand tall


A POEM OF THE LOWEST CALIBER

It was noon on the beaches as the little crabs played
The sun was home asleep so the moon was on display
An old man came walking down the shoreline all confused
He had apples in his armpits
On his ears were placed his shoes
The wee crabs were frightened so they scuttled to the sea
And while the old man burned his beard he sang this song to me:

"My name is Ho
My teeth are old
My finger's numb
My hair is gold
My ear is gone
And my left big toe
And my eye is too low
To see the snow"

"I saw a fish a fish lying in the hall
It kicked my knee
It made me fall"

It was evening on the beach and because it was the night
The crabs were all asleep and the sun was shining bright
The old man slept soundly on a pillow made of a foam
And I just turned and walked away and never made it home


WAVEFORM

Washing and crashing around me
The gurgle never ceases
It pushes me along it's well-worn path
And drags me under
I ride it's softness and I find the exit
High above me in that place few people have seen
The drums beat
And I am alone once more
