Dark Watch

Dark Watch eyes glimmer
Over back of imperial stallion they simmer
Ire given steal and patriotism to kill
Permit arrogance to drink of Death’s fill

Choir of Angels harmonize upon stately clouds
Seek not the prayers of terror’s jubilation
Grinder and glutton we send on the crowds
To needless souls we grant liberation

I’ve no solace to compensate these trespasses
No wisdom to grant that you could grasp
Their temples erected in bones with care
Everything is permitted; nothing is fair

So clutch tight worn pages; dead words
Salvation and mercy are not assured
Misled not; Pick up this sword in your defence
For free will does excuses Their absence…
